... coding tips like this?

if you have ever coded something like this:

    if n==1:
        s = ''
    else:
        s = 's'
    ...
    print('we found',n,'thing'+s)

or the shorter way many people hate:

    s = '' if n==1 else 's'
    ...
    print('we found',n,'thing'+s)

then you might want to consider doing it like this:

    s = ('s','')[n==1]
    ...
    print('we found',n,'thing'+s)

this works because booleans False and True can be used anywhere a number can be used:

Output:
>>> complex(False)
0j
>>> complex(True)
(1+0j)
>>> True/2
0.5
>>>

note that the last one will give a different result in Python2.
