[Python-Dev] ACCEPTED: PEP 285

[Gerald S. Williams]

Interesting how the posts seem to be actually picking up. :-)

One concern about testing for "== True" is that it might push
newbies into using "is True" instead. Generally, "is True" is
even more dangerous than "== True" unless you're testing to
see if it's a boolean at all (in which case there should be a
test for "is False"), or doing something rather esoteric.
