My problem with this syntax is that it can be hard to read:
return if self.arg is None then default else self.arg looks worryingly like return NAME NAME.NAME NAME NAME NAME NAME NAME NAME.NAME That can already be written in Python:
No it can't! Would you believe I had this exact conversation two and a half years ago? :)
return self.arg or default
Consider what happens if self.arg is 0, here.
Cheers, mwh
