How can I handle this PEP8 warning?

Question

I have a two-line code like this:

if validated_data.get('is_shipped') == False:  # 管理员取消了发货，则把物流信息删掉
    validated_data.update(logistics_company=None, logistics_tracking_no=None)

I am using Pycharm and the PEP8 check is on. So there is an underline below validated_data.get('is_shipped') == False which shows me Expression can be simplified. Replace boolean expression with ``not validated_data.get('is_shipped')`` . But, the truth is, I only want to run code in if statement when is_shipped is explicitly passed as False, and not when is_shipped is None. So, how can I handle this PEP8 check warning?

Answer 1

You hit the solution in your question: use the explicit is operator:

if validated_data.get('is_shipped') is False:

This makes your condition an explicit identity, rather than the "truthy" boolean evaluation.

Answer 2

Here x == False is equivalent to not x, and I don't know why do you want to only use x == False and PEP8 suggests that:

if not validated_data.get('is_shipped'):  # 管理员取消了发货，则把物流信息删掉
    validated_data.update(logistics_company=None, logistics_tracking_no=None)
