Possibly.

Generally this question is answered with at least a half-dozen
or so one-line code examples -- almost all of which somebody
will claim are wrong in one respect or another.  While there
may exist an equivalent chunk of Python code, the practical
answer seems to be that there isn't a _good_ (readable and
obviously correct) way to do this with one line of Python code.
