They're quite different. "if spam" will check the truthiness of spam - it's equivalent to "if bool(spam) is True"; "if spam is True" checks that it's actually a boolean. But I would recommend against the "== True" form, as it's unclear which form you meant to use. (Others may disagree.) ChrisA -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
