Hi Sander,

PEP 8, the "Style Guide for Python Code"
http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/ is pretty clear that the
shorter version is preferable:

if s:

if n:

if b:

if not b:

and so on...

Cheers,
Vern

Hi Tutors,

I am going through someone's python script and I am seeing a lot of the
following boolean checks.

if not s == ""

if not n == 0

if b == True

if not b == True

etc..

All of these can be written without the == notation like "if n", "if s"
etc.

Now in this case where it is only used as boolean checks which would be
the most pythonic way if writing these checks?

Thanks
Sander
