Python consistently says true/false, not truthy/falsy. But a few "truthy" have crept in now: https://github.com/python/cpython/search?q=truthy - Two in Doc/reference/compound_stmts.rst - One in Doc/library/ast.rst - One in Lib/test/test_builtin.py Evidence for consistent true/false usage, if needed: https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#truth-value-testing https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#boolean-operations-and-or-not https://docs.python.org/3/reference/compound_stmts.html#the-if-statement https://docs.python.org/3/reference/compound_stmts.html#the-while-statement https://docs.python.org/3/reference/expressions.html#boolean-operations
