[issue3195] invalid conversion xml.etree.ElementTree.Element object to boolean

[Antoine Pitrou]

Antoine Pitrou <pitrou at free.fr> added the comment:

Indeed, this is not a bug, although it can be misleading.
Generally, if you test for None, it is better to write "if x is None",
it is at the same time more accurate, more explicit for someone reading
your code, and also executes faster than "if not x".
