I have never understood why the def couldn't start on the same line as
the else:
 
if verbose: verbiage = print
else: def verbiage(*args): pass
 
The colon effectively starts a block so why not allow it?
 
By the way, I think you meant "def verbiage(*args, **kws): pass"

How about "print"?

if not verbose:
    def print(*args, **kws): pass
