BTW, the continuation is not necessary I believe.

[ x==0 and "zero" or ["","-"][x < 0] + ("even", "odd")[x%2] for x in
range(8) ]

isn't too bad. though I like the C one a bit more(as it doesn't
overload the and/or)

[ x==0 ? "zero" : ["","-"][x < 0] + ("even", "odd")[x%2] for x in
range(8) ]

As it is still a very straight forward flow(from left to right, without
"internal decision split in between").
