Python’s “truthiness” is a cutesy feature that is just an excuse for bugs in your code. It’s opaque/ too magic, exhibits poor readability and endless confusion.

Just use a normal check, like everyone is expecting to see.

“Oh but what if it’s not a sequence”, well then you have bigger problems. Why are you emptiness testing something that may-or-may-not-be-a-sequence? Maybe solve that problem first.
