[Tutor] MEL to Python Translation of array index in conditional statement

[Brian Schindler]

I'm trying to convert the following code from MEL (Maya Embedded Language) to Python and having trouble with syntax errors in the conditional statement. Could you help me out? 

float $pos[3] = `xform -q -rp $obj`;
    if ($pos[0] != 0 || $pos[1] != 0 || $pos[2] != 0)
