[Django]-Django template strange behaviour

Bizarre. In regular python,

if None == False:
    # this will not run
    print "abc"

File a bug on Django. 🙂

This is just the way Python resolves ‘truth’ for comparison between different types.

See the docs. “None” is considered False.

Edit: as below, the python console does not confirm this behaviour, so, I am also surprised. -1 to me!

For now It seem like you will have to create your own template filter as was suggested in this post

Alternatively, you can do if not None.
