PEP 308: Precendence of "a then b else c"

[Andrew Koenig]

John> The proposal on the table requires parenthesis around the entire figure:

John> (if <condition>: <expression> else: <expression)

John> There is no ambiguity.

There is no ambiguity with or without the parentheses.
The only question is whether the parser is up to it.
It's easy for a bottom-up parser but hard for a top-down parser.
