[Python-ideas] Please reconsider the Boolean evaluation of midnight

[M.-A. Lemburg]

I don't know what all the fuzz is about. There are lots of types
in Python that evaluate to False in certain corner cases, e.g.
"", (), [], {}, 0, 0.0, 0j, None, etc.

datetime.time(0,0,0) is just another one :-)

BTW: If you want to test for None, well, then do test for None and
not for some property of None:

if x is None:
    print ("x is None, which implies it's False")
    print ("Oh, and do note that the inverse is not necessarily true :-)")

In logic:

A -> B does not imply B -> A; it only implies (not B) -> (not A).

in Python again:

if bool(x) is not False:
     print ("x is not None")
