I think I'd prefer (if then else ) i.e. no colons. None of the other expression forms (list comprehensions and generator expressions) involving statement keywords use colons.

FWIW, I find this quite intuitive. It follows the same pattern as LCs and GEs -- remove the colons and add parentheses (or brackets for LCs). So I'm +1.
