Normal truth testing is done like this: if cond: This isn't truth testing, this is checking the identity of what's in cond: if cond is True: And that's specifically testing for something much tighter than truthiness. As you can see from my stats above, that's actually fairly rare. Usually you'd just accept that True, 1, "yes", [1,2,3], and 1.2345 are all equally true.
