  * Don't use the literals {{{True}}} or {{{False}}} in conditional expressions -- instead just write the expression which will evaluate to true or false. For example, write {{{if expr:}}} instead of {{{if expr == True:}}} and {{{if not expr:}}} instead of {{{if expr == False:}}}.
  * Avoid relying on the fact that empty sequences, empty strings, empty dicts, {{{0}}}, and {{{None}}} are treated as false. Write {{{if len(items) == 0:}}}, {{{if thing is None:}}}, etc.

+ * {{{athing in adict.keys()}}} can be replaced by {{{athing in adict}}}, which evaluates to the same boolean result, but is more succinct and more efficient at run-time.
