Comparison to true should be 'if cond is true:' or 'if cond:' (E712)

When comparing a variable to True, you should use the form if x is True or simply if x. The most common incorrect form is if x == True.

Anti-pattern

x = True
if x == True:
    print('True!')

Best practice

x = True
if x is True:
    print('True!')

or simply:

x = True
if x:
    print('True!')
