Hello!

When using 'if syntax', casting condition to bool type is unnecessary. Rather, it only occurs overhead.

https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/b26a0db8ea2de3a8a8e4b40e69fc8642c7d7cb68/Lib/asyncio/futures.py#L118

If you look at the link above, the `val` has been cast to bool type. This works well without bool casting.

This issue is my first issue. So if you have a problem, please tell me!

Thanks You!

Hi Wansoo, welcome to Python!


Changes that are purely cosmetic but do not change the underlying meaning of the code are usually refused as they create unwanted code churn. You will find some info about this and all the other aspects of contributing to Python in the Python Dev Guide: https://devguide.python.org/.


If you want to find an issue on which you could work, please have a look at the `easy` `easy (C)` and `newcomer_friendly` issues in the bug tracker. You can find them using the search function of https://bugs.python.org/
