The ternary syntax is really my only real gripe with python design -- putting the conditional BETWEEN the true and false values feels so very messy to me.

It's kinda natural to me having used Perl a lot.

You clearly haven't used Perl a lot. Perl's ternary looks like:

$even = $num % 2 ? "nay" : "yay";

Incidentally, it is also the same as PHP's, but mainly because PHP stole it.

perl -e 'print "fart\n" if 1;'
