Exactly. Its just a convention. If it exists, its true, if if doesn't
its false.

Right. And not only that: Python objects resp. classes not claiming to have a truth value (__nonzero__), but a length (__len__) are judged by that concerning their truth value: iff the length is 0, their truth value is False.
