Derived from the pycodestyle linter.

Fix is always available.

What it does

Checks for identity comparisons using not {foo} is {bar}.

Why is this bad?

According to PEP8, testing for an object's identity with is not is more readable.

Example

if not X is Y:
    pass
Z = not X.B is Y

Use instead:

if X is not Y:
    pass
Z = X.B is not Y
