I'd bet everything on it! This nice conditional-value syntax "A if COND
else B" seems a recent feature.

I have Pyton 2.5.1 on an old ubuntu-gutsy. What distro are you using
with SUCH OLD python version? 

Does anybody know the exact python version that brought this syntax? We
definitely need to put a version assert at the beginning of our scons
script.
