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 =ool(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.

I'd certainly agree that bool() is better than not not. And I admit a C
background.
