I know that this style is unpopular, but if it helps, try mentally pronouncing "==" in C as "is the value of".
In this example, when I read that line, my mind is thinking:
"if 'u' is the value of typecode"
After ~12 years of doing this, it comes naturally. I appreciate that this may come across as weird though :)
Whereas I read it as 'has the value' (or just 'is' ;=). Not being tempted to reverse in Python is one advantage of not having assignment expressions. -- Terry Jan Reedy
