It's less clear in more ways than one:

   3.6> not [1,2,3] == not True
     File "<stdin>", line 1
       not [1,2,3] == not True
                        ^
   SyntaxError: invalid syntax
   3.6> not [1,2,3] == (not True)
   True
   3.6> not [] == (not True)
   True
   3.6> (not []) == (not True)
   False
