Sometimes for readability it's convenient to have
a = b if c else d
Why is this not available for other similar functions such as try, except
a = b try c except d
Some examples of usage would be
# if a and b contain np.nan values
equal = True try np.testing.assert_equal(a, b) except False
# error handling for simple func call
res = z try proc1(x,y) except False
