Most of the types return scalar objects - including list, tuple, strings, etc. It's not about what is acceptable as a scalar. It's about which scalars should be considered Truthy and Falsey. In python the convention is: Boolean/Integer/Float/Complex: 0 → False, other →True Container-Types (string/list/tuple): same as bool(len(obj)) For other types (dates, timestamps, etc.) I'm not sure a boolean conversion makes sense. —Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub, or unsubscribe.You are receiving this because you were mentioned.Message ID: ***@***.***> -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
