Yes, but you're typing too much:

> if ( function(a, b)  ):
>         dosomething
> else:

And, if you made this a function call, you could do this:

  def doOneThingOrTheOther(a,b):

      if ( function(a, b)  ):
           return dosomething

      return dosomethingelse

Then just call doOneThingOrTheOther(a,b)
