There's the != (not equal) operator that returns True when two values differ, though be careful with the types because "1" != 1. This will always return True and "1" == 1 will always return False, since the types differ. Python is dynamically, but strongly typed, and other statically typed languages would complain about comparing different types. There's also the else clause:
One neat thing about Python is that you can override this behavior in a class of your own. For example, in some languages the ^ symbol means exponentiation. You could do that this way, just as one example: ... Then something like this will work, and now, for instances of Foo only, the ^ symbol will mean exponentiation.
In Python this is simply =. To translate this pseudocode into Python you would need to know the data structures being referenced, and a bit more of the algorithm implementation. Some notes about psuedocode: := is the assignment operator or = in Python = is the equality operator or == in Python There are certain styles, and your mileage may vary:
