inline if statement while multiple variable assginment

Question

I know there are many resource such as One line if-condition-assignment

but in my case I am assigning two variables from list with two items and want to know if there is a way of adding if statement in a line

my code is :

status, bytes = test_str[pos[1]+1:pos[2]-2].split()
if bytes == "-":
    bytes = 0

I want something like:

status, bytes if (bytes != "-" else 0) = test_str[pos[1]+1:pos[2]-2].split()

Your code is completely fine and more beautiful than any monstrous one-liner. — Klaus D., Oct 30 '19 at 02:54

I agree with @KlausD.'s comment, but if you really have to, use:

status, bytes = [test_str[pos[1]+1:pos[2]-2].split(), (test_str[pos[1]+1:pos[2]-2].split()[0],0)][test_str[pos[1]+1:pos[2]-2].split()[1] == "-"]
