Yes, this violates the Holy, Inspired, Infallible Style Guide (pbuh),
which was written by the very finger of God when the world was still in
It's not about style or being pythonic: a condition may be false, but
not the False object itself, so writing
if something is False:
is the wrong way to test if something is false (isn't clear? :) )
>>> def is_odd_number(n): return n & 1

>>> if is_odd_number(3) is False: print "3 is odd"
... else: print "3 is even"
