Re: [Python-Dev] ACCEPTED: PEP 285

def test(a): if a is True: print 'True' if a == False: print 'False'

generates these warnings: test.py:2: Should not assign to True, it is (or will be) a builtin test.py:3: Should not assign to False, it is (or will be) a builtin

While Gustavo suggests to let pass 'a is True', I recommend to give a warning for this - people who want to see whether something is True should write 'True is a'. Regards, Martin
