That's a construct you might commonly find in languages like C, but I don't think it's very pythonic. If you want to convert your result to a bool, be explicit about it: flag = bool(some_value or another) I'd agree that the if/else construct is redundant if you just want a True/False result, but the double not is a kind of implicit type conversion that is easily avoided.
