From: "Guido van Rossum" <guido@python.org>

Still, I'm beginning to be more and more against any form of if-then-else; I'm not yet sure why that is, but I think that I don't see enough places where it's needed, and I find code using it often harder to read. Part of that is my general problem with decyphering expressions with control flow -- my brain is wired to deal with control flow at the statement level very efficiently, but not at the expression level.

If the vote pass, you can always add it but declare that it is very very very bad style .
