Is it safe to replace '==' with 'is' to compare Boolean-values

Question

I did several Boolean Comparisons:

>>> (True or False) is True
True
>>> (True or False) == True
True

It sounds like

Answer 1

Watch out for what else you may be comparing.

>>> 1 == True
True
>>> 1 is True
False

True and False will have stable object ids for their lifetime in your python instance.

>>> id(True)
4296106928
>>> id(True)
4296106928

is compares the id of an object

EDIT: adding or

Since OP is using or in question it may be worth pointing this out.

or that evaluates True: returns the first 'True' object.

>>> 1 or True
1
>>> 'a' or True
'a'
>>> True or 1
True

or that evaluates False: returns the last 'False' object

>>> False or ''
''
>>> '' or False
False

and that evaluates to True: returns the last 'True' object

>>> True and 1
1
>>> 1 and True
True

and that evaluates to False: returns the first 'False' object

>>> '' and False
''
>>> False and ''
False

This is an important python idiom and it allows concise and compact code for dealing with boolean logic over regular python objects.

>>> bool([])
False
>>> bool([0])
True
>>> bool({})
False
>>> bool({False: False})
True
>>> bool(0)
False
>>> bool(-1)
True
>>> bool('False')
True
>>> bool('')
False

Basically 'empty' objects are False, 'non empty' are True.

Combining this with @detly's and the other answers should provide some insight into how to use if and bools in python.
