3 values - "yes", "no" and "unspecified" - True, False and None in
Python-speak.
I'd probably write that this way:
if t is None:
# not specified
elif t:
# true
else:
# false
on the other hand, if I had a variable that could be either a number or True/False, I would probably write:
if t is True:
#
elif t is False:
#
else:
# use t as a number
just as I would for any other singleton value. Why does the PEP say that == True is preferred to is True?
