Tal Einat <talei...@gmail.com> added the comment:

`not cmd` will but true if cmd is None, so it is completely equivalent to `cmd 
is None or not cmd`.  This is a purely stylistic change which doesn't alter the 
logic.

To get a clear understanding of what's going on, I recommend reading the short 
"Truth Value Testing" section in the docs:
https://docs.python.org/library/stdtypes.html#truth-value-testing
