.... is there any general convention about order of evaluation in
Python? If we are lexical left right, top down ordered then

1)      x if C else y

will have very different meanings to
2)      if C: x else: y

It seems reasonable that C should be evaluated before either x or y so
that in the left right top down world 1) looks wrong.
