A proper ternary operator will not evaluate the unused candidate-result. This matters a little for performance, but matters more if one or both of the candidate results have side-effects. It's better to use "j = 3 if j >= 10 else j + 1". What you've suggested here was one of the ternary operator workarounds before a true ternary operator was introduced in 2.5. I don't use Python's ternary operator much though - I tend to find if+else more clear, and it shows up well in a debugger. The ternary operator tends to lead to long one-liners (especially if nested!), which are usually best avoided. I'd even go so far as to say that most uses of a ternary operator probably should be a small function. It's slower, but it lends itself to DRY and abstraction better.
