How does adding those parens change semantics? The behaviour of the function
isleap() is the same. I have throughtly tested this function and found no
semantic errors in it. So the parens don't matter for behaviour, only for
clarity they matter. But since you decided not to fix this, I won't push the
envelope. At least fix the docstrings to match the return value. Please fix
the docstrings to """Return True for leap years, False for non-leap
years."""

I searched the tracker and found four documentation issues that you<br>
submitted in the past: #4389, #4648, #4649, and #6475.  In each case,<br>
your issue received attention from the most senior python developers.<br>
In each case the issue was closed with a detailed comment explaining<br>

<br>
I think if you search the tracker for issues with &quot;accepted&quot; or<br>
&quot;fixed&quot; resolution, you will understand why we have the bug 
tracker.<br>
Reading successful reports may also help you to submit better reports<br>
in the future.<br>
