One of the Python Zen rules is Explicit is better implicit. And yet it's ok to do:
if x: do_sth when x is string or list. Since it's very comfy, I've got nothing against though. I am just curious, why is it so? And one more thing: is it ok to do if x: instead of if x is not None: Because I often encounter it and would like to know, if I can simplify it. Especially that I liked similar construction in C/C++. -- Filip Gruszczyński -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
