Hi! Your message here is a little unclear. Are you proposing a new feature (an 
enhancement), or filing a bug report?

In either case, I'm afraid this behavior is very unlikely to change. In 
general, strings in Python are always considered truthy unless they are empty, 
even if they are the literal string "False" or "0". This is a very important 
principle in Python, and changing it would raise serious 
backwards-compatibility concerns.

You can read more about truth-value testing here: 
https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#truth-value-testing
