[New-bugs-announce] [issue45346] Some "truthy" crept in

[Stefan Pochmann]

New submission from Stefan Pochmann <stefan.pochmann at gmail.com>:

Python consistently says true/false, not truthy/falsy. But a few "truthy" have crept in now:

https://github.com/python/cpython/search?q=truthy
- Two in Doc/reference/compound_stmts.rst
- One in Doc/library/ast.rst
- One in Lib/test/test_builtin.py

Evidence for consistent true/false usage, if needed:
https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#truth-value-testing
https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#boolean-operations-and-or-not
https://docs.python.org/3/reference/compound_stmts.html#the-if-statement
https://docs.python.org/3/reference/compound_stmts.html#the-while-statement
https://docs.python.org/3/reference/expressions.html#boolean-operations
