Please tell us, what it is you want to achieve. And give us some
context
for this function.

This snippet will seperate d.Arguments into two lists: one that
holds all elements that are references to True(!) and another list
that holds the rest. The condition 'if args is True' will only
be hold if arg actually _is_ the object _True_. This is probably
not what you want. Apart from that, you might go with

lMandatory = [ arg for arg in cls.dArguments if condition() ]
lOptional = [ arg for arg in cls.dArguments if not condition() ]

the second line could be rewritten

lOptional = list(set(cls.dArguments)-set(lMandatory))

If lMandatory and lOptional do not need to be lists, you can also
write

lMandatory = set(arg for arg in cls.dArguments if condition())
lOptional =  set(cls.dArguments) - lMandatory

But please, give us some more context of what you want to do.
