one question i'd like to ask is, in what context is such a line part
of your code? altho alan is correct in that syntactically, they're
very similar, i'm wondering what you're using it for.

the reason why i ask is because it's not standard practice i see
people doing this with Python, so i'm trying to get a better
understanding of what you're trying to do.

thanks!
