Does Python have a ternary conditional operator?

Question

If Python does not have a ternary conditional operator, is it possible to simulate one using other language constructs?

Answer 1

Simulating the python ternary operator.

For example

a, b, x, y = 1, 2, 'a greather than b', 'b greater than a'
result = (lambda:y, lambda:x)[a > b]()

output:

'b greater than a'
