On a slightly different tangent from the other answers you've received 
to this question, if you're using a conditional expression, don't 
compare it explicitly with True or False, just state the condition:

if 2 in [1,2,3]:
   blah

The same holds even if a variable contains True or False:

some_option = True
...
if some_option:
   blah

NOT:

if some_option == True:
   blah
