if- else statement in one line code python; syntax error

Question

I just want to convert the number in text and if it is a text just return the word, but I get a syntax error after else. Is it possible to write the statement in one line?

text = [p.number_to_words(words) for words in text if words.isdigit() else words]

In the future when asking questions about errors, always please copy-paste the errors into the question, in full and complete, and as text. — Some programmer dude

Just move the if ... else before the for ... in:

text = [p.number_to_words(words) if words.isdigit() else words for words in text]
