Here’s a quick one…

In Python one can do:

foo = foo1 if bar1 else foo2

And that’s cool, but how can I just get a True or False without having to write

foo = True if bar1 else False

For example, in JS you can forcibly cast a boolean type by doing

var foo = !!bar1;

Call bool on the object:

bool(bar1)
