For review: PEP 308 - If-then-else expression

Anthony> Why not simply:

Anthony> def condsqrt(z):
Anthony>   if z > 0.0: 
Anthony>     return sqrt(z)
Anthony>   else:
Anthony>     return 0.0

Anthony> y = [ condsqrt(z) for z in x ]

Anthony> There's a function call overhead, but it's a hell of a lot
Anthony> easier to read.

I'm not convinced it's easier to read, because I must now look in
