Equality Identity

Sourcery refactoring id: equality-identity

Description:

Simplify equality comparisons that are always True or False

Before:

if 1 == 1:
    always_do_this()

if 1 != 1:
    never_do_this()

After:

if True:
    always_do_this()

if False:
    never_do_this()

Explanation:

When comparing a value to itself, the outcome will always be True, as long as the equality operator has not been overridden, and this also holds for the opposite comparison and False. It is more readable to use a direct comparison to the boolean value.
