For all of the syntax features Python has been adding over the years, this would be a nice enhancement: making the "else None" optional in the ternary if-expression. E.g.,

    spam = eggs if bar
    # vs
    spam = eggs if bar else None

I almost never use None as the second value here. From my POV, that would be new syntax for an unlikely situation.
