How to write inline if statement for print?

I need to print some stuff only when a boolean variable is set to True. So, after looking at this, I tried with a simple example:

>>> a = 100
>>> b = True
>>> print a if b
  File "<stdin>", line 1
    print a if b
             ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Same thing if I write print a if b==True.

What am I missing here?

You can write an inline ternary operator like so:

sure = True

# inline operator
is_true = 'yes' if sure else 'no'

# print the outcome
print(is_true)

hmmm, you can do it with a list comprehension. This would only make sense if you had a real range.. but it does do the job:

print([a for i in range(0,1) if b])

or using just those two variables:

print([a for a in range(a,a+1) if b])
