Python Ternary Operator

I want to print out a string in python. I don't want to do:

if isfemale_bit:
    print 'F'
else:
    print 'M'

The best I have right now is print ['M', 'F'][int(isfemale_bit)]?

Is there a better alternative?

I needs my syntactic sugar!!

In Python 2.5, you can use ternary conditionals like this:

a if b else c

There is more discussion here: Does Python have a ternary conditional operator?

Ah the ternary operator:

>>> print 'foo' if True else 'bar'
foo
>>> print 'foo' if False else 'bar'
bar
