[New-bugs-announce] [issue25452] Add __bool__() method to subprocess.CompletedProcess

[Richard Neumann]

New submission from Richard Neumann:

The class subprocess.CompletedProcess is currently lacking a __bool__() method.

It might be a practical feature to have the possibility to evaluate a CompletedProcess instance in an if/else block without the necessity to handle the exception raised by CompletedProcess.check_returncode().

Hence, I suggest adding the method

def __bool__(self):
    return self.returncode == 0

to the class.
