[New-bugs-announce] [issue24146] ast.literal_eval doesn't support the Python ternary operator

[Larry Hastings]

New submission from Larry Hastings:

ast.literal_eval() supports all Python operators, yes?  No.  It doesn't support "if/else", Python's ternary operator.

Is there a reason it does not?  I think it probably should.
