Is there a (straightforward?) way to dynamically compose function argument lists? For example, in C, you can write"

f(arg1, arg2, (conditional expression)?(val for TRUE state):(val for FALSE state)).

This can be emulated in Python by the boolean logic: ( ({conditional expression}) and {TRUE val} ) or {FALSE val} e.g. a = ( ( (x > 1) and "biggerthanone" ) or "smallerthanone" )

...

...

x = 0 a = ( (x > 1) and "biggerthanone" ) or "smallerthanone" a 'smallerthanone'

Or one can embed a fcn call within an argument list in order to supply a needed function parameter.

Hrm.. I *think* this will work as a function argment. Sure.. why not?
