Is there something similar to ?: operator (C/C++) in Python?

That's not true.
One used form is this:
result = cond and value1 or value2

which is equal to
if cond:
   result=value1
else:
   result=value2


another form is:

result = [value2,value1][cond]


the first form is nice but value1 must _always_ have a true value (so not
None,0,'' and so on), but often you can handle this.
