> your change to the parentheses changes the semantics. (Georg Brandl)

How does adding those parens change semantics? The behaviour of the function
isleap() is the same. I have throughtly tested this function and found no
semantic errors in it. So the parens don't matter for behaviour, only for
clarity they matter. But since you decided not to fix this, I won't push the
envelope. At least fix the docstrings to match the return value. Please fix
the docstrings to """Return True for leap years, False for non-leap
years."""
