Hi Simon,

I was thinking along similar signs -- we could ask for things like "x
is ''" or "x is 3" to be added to PEP8 (I think any use of "is" with a
constant on one or more sides is likely suspect).
That may be a good idea. If the compiler emits SyntaxWarnings for
these cases, then maybe it's all we need to cover most of the bad
usages.
I highly appreciate this idea, too! Educating people to avoid
mis-use of "is" has probably more impact in the long term,
because the pep8 module is pretty often used as a measure of
code cleaning.
