In-place value conversion in Python
Tired of long ternary operators?
v = 'yes' if x == 1 else 'no' if x == 0 else 'maybe'
Use a dict for in-place conversion!
v = {1: 'yes', 0: 'no', None: 'maybe!'}[x]

v = (x == 1) and 'yes' or (x == 0) and 'no' or 'maybe'

But behavior will be a bit different. None in dict won't catch values other than 1 or 0. :(
Anyway good sample. Thanks.
