Inspectopedia 2024.3 Help

Using equality operators to compare with None

Reports comparisons with None. That type of comparisons should always be done with is or is not, never the equality operators.

Example:

a = 2 if a == None: print("Success")

Once the quick-fix is applied, the code changes to:

a = 2 if a is None: print("Success")
