Hello! I admit SelectResults.__nonzero__ was a design mistake. Guido van
Rossum and Phillip J. Eby showed that it possible for an iterator to be
empty and still be evaluated to True in a boolean context. See the thread
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2007-September/074731.html

   The offending __nonzero__ has just been removed in the revisions
2992-2995.

   But please remember it's still a bug in your code to write

if MyTable.select():
   ...

   I have submitted a patch to fix such bug in the logging module. Don't
hesitate to submit a patch for other libraries (Zope TAL, anyone?)

Oleg.

           Programmers don't die, they just GOSUB without RETURN.
