comparison to False should be 'if cond is False:' or 'if not cond:

Question

while line_number < dictionary_elements_number and validation_bool == False:

getting this error when i run it throught pep8 E712 comparison to False should be 'if cond is False:' or 'if not cond:' isn't that a bit weird?

Answer 1

From PEP8 documentation:

Comparisons to singletons like None should always be done with is or is not, never the equality operators.

I guess False is also a singleton.
