The best way I can think of is:

def expensive_stuff_1():
    ...

def expensive_stuff_2():
    ...

if not condition_1:
    expensive_stuff_1()
if not condition_2:
    expensive_stuff_2()

Depending on what exactly you're doing, this might make perfect sense,
or might be a useless indentation level of its own. If the expensive
stuff divides nicely into units, where each unit is governed by one
condition, it might work out well that way; you could use the same
functions to build your 'if __main__' section too.
