That's just ugly.  Probably a more explicit way would be to have an
is_true() and is_false() function/method.  if is_false(my_value).

But that's ugly too, especially when the idea of emptiness or falseness
is so consistently defined across python types.  I have yet to encounter
any situation where I got tripped up on such a small thing as the OP.
