backend.py doesn't compile with Python 2.4.3

byte-compiling build/bdist.linux-x86_64/egg/tracadvsearch/backend.py to backend.pyc
File "build/bdist.linux-x86_64/egg/tracadvsearch/backend.py", line 80
q_string = " AND ".join(q_parts) if q_parts else ':'

I tried rewriting that line of code as:

    if q_parts:
        q_string = " AND ".join(q_parts)
    else:
        q_string = '*:*'

But now it fails to compile on the next line:

byte-compiling build/bdist.linux-x86_64/egg/tracadvsearch/backend.py to backend.pyc
File "build/bdist.linux-x86_64/egg/tracadvsearch/backend.py", line 85
try:
^

Does this code require a newer version of Python to work?

Yes, this plugin was written for Python 2.5+

Thank you for replying.
I tried to update the "X if bool else Y" statements, but that wasn't
enough to make it compile.
We'll update to a newer version of Python soon, and then we'll be able
to use your plugin.
