Sorry, not helping but rambling below...

Yep, not surprising that conditional expression has such issues. The 
last time I checked Python code for coverage, they were missing 
uncovered branch of the conditional expression.

[And saying this without testing.] Additionally, what about lazily 
evaluated sub-expressions like function arguments? So, per-line coverage 
is not sufficient anyway.
