Python syntax for an unless statement

Question

My request is simple but I do not know how to proceed:

I would like to translate an unless statement in python as followed:

taken_asks -= 1 unless taken_asks == 0

This is just one line of code which is part of a very big function. Any idea?

Thank you in advance !

Answer 1

taken_asks -= (1 if taken_asks != 0 else 0)
