Is it possible in Python to write a sort of truth table to simplify the writing of if statements?

Question

Let's say I'm trying to print out the orientation of a tablet device using its accelerometer that provides acceleration measurements in the horizontal and vertical directions of the display of the device. I know that such a printout could be done using a set of if statements in a form such as the following:

if abs(stableAcceleration[0]) > abs(stableAcceleration[1]) and stableAcceleration[0] > 0:
    print("right")
elif abs(stableAcceleration[0]) > abs(stableAcceleration[1]) and stableAcceleration[0] < 0:
    print("left")
elif abs(stableAcceleration[0]) < abs(stableAcceleration[1]) and stableAcceleration[1] > 0:
    print("inverted")
elif abs(stableAcceleration[0]) < abs(stableAcceleration[1]) and stableAcceleration[1] < 0:
    print("normal")

Would it be possible to codify the logic of this in some neater form? Could a sort of truth table be constructed such that the orientation is simply a lookup value of this table? What would be a good way to do something like this?

EDIT: Following a suggestion by @jonrsharpe, I have implemented the logic in a way like the following:

tableOrientations = {
    (True,  True):  "right",
    (True,  False): "left",
    (False, True):  "inverted",
    (False, False): "normal"
}
print(
    tableOrientations[(
        abs(stableAcceleration[0]) > abs(stableAcceleration[1]),
        stableAcceleration[0] > 0
    )]
)

Answer 1

Consider doing something along the lines of this:

x = 0;
if abs(stableAcceleration[0]) > abs(stableAcceleration[1]) :
    x += 2
if stableAcceleration[0] > 0:
    x +=1

list = ["normal", "invert", "left", "right"]

print(list[x])

That being said, your series of if statements don't cover every case.
