Python 2.5.4 (r254:67916, Feb 17 2009, 20:16:45)
[GCC 4.3.3] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
 >>> A,B=2,3
 >>> if A>B:
...     print A+B
... else:
...     print A**B-B**2
...
-1
 >>> A,B=3,2
 >>> if A>B:
...     print A+B
... else:
...     print A**B-B**2
...
5

tell me please: how can generate the same output (depending on A and B) 
without control structure? i mean in a natural "pythonic" way...
