In case it's not clear - Python is not a democracy. The utter shambles of
the ternary operator horror shows very clearly why this is a good thing,
as do the various languages that are designed by committee. On this

"Python is not a democracy.  I can't be swayed by votes, only by good
arguments."

Say no to language design by committee.
