C's ?: expression

[Curtis Jensen]

I while back I posted about how to simulate C's ?: expression in
Python.  There were quite a few responces to it.  Recently, I found on
pp135-136 of Mark Lutz's "Programmin Python" book that there is a way. 
If anyone is interested:

((TEST and [trueAction]) or [falseAction])[0]

where TEST is the boolean expression and tueAction is what to do if the
expression is true and falseAction is what to do if the expression is
false.
