The literal translation of that would be:

it is a bit verbose, so one might want to find something shorter

I always feel if and in-line if to be easier and more readable than
short-circuited operations.
How about:
b = None is not n != []
It is amazing to think about how rarely we consider is / is not as
a comparison operator. Also, and more reasonably, we often don't
consider "chaining" comparisons that are intransitive.
The fact that chaining operator is possible doesn't mean it must be
used. The only place I would use chained operator is for comparing
ranges of integer: 5 < x < 10, other than that, its use often reduce
readability.
