False or thing = thing
Thanks for your response and for the rules, but for some reason I'm
not understanding. In the above quote, what is meant by "thing"?
Any Boolean value, and in Python that means pretty much
anything at all because Python has a set of rules over how
it converts values to booleans.
More or less it is that:
None, empty strings, lists etc , zero, are all False,
anything else is True
You can check by explicitly converting:
spam = "foo" # or any other value
print bool(spam)
