It's not about style or being pythonic: a condition may be false, but 
not the False object itself, so writing
if something is False:
is the wrong way to test if something is false (isn't clear? :) )

 >>> def is_odd_number(n):  return n & 1
...
 >>> if is_odd_number(3) is False: print "3 is odd"
... else: print "3 is even"
...
3 is even
