I still have a printed stack of Python 1.5.7 docs from when I first learned the language.

The addition of boolean `True` and `False` were a huge improvement to the language when they were finally added in 2.3.

I'm not sure why you're making things more complicated than they need to be. Test for truthiness. Conditional statements already evaluate boolean expressions, you're not adding anything explicit by writing `== True`.

Hard disagree.
