So we should always write things explicitly like:

if bool(bool(some_condition) is True) is True:
    first_line = str(some_string).split(str("\n"))[int(0)]
    n = int(int(len(list(some_list))) + int(1))
elif bool(bool(some_condition) is False) is True:
    f = float(math.sin(float(6.0)/float(math.pi)))

instead of the less explicit code. I'll try to remember that, thank you
for the advice.
