Logic_Test and True_Result or False_Result
would be a Python counterpart.

So the exmaple is converted to:
print "you have %d %s"%(num_eggs, (num_eggs > 1) and "eggs" or "egg")

But be warned that if True_Result is evaluated as False(e.g. True_Result 
is an empty string), this doesn't work.

If you don't know what object is considered False in Python, check the 
following document.
