PEP 8 recommends the latter.

I can't seem to find where this recommendation is mentioned or implied.
Personally I would go for the len version for the sole reason that its
immediate clear what it is what I am trying to do here. So that when I
reread my code a couple of weeks later I don't have to think, eh was A a
bool, oh no I was checking if that list had content in it.
But that could be just me though :-)
YMMV
