None Compare

Sourcery refactoring id: none-compare

Description:

Replaces == with is when comparing to None

Before:

if hat == None:
    raise NoHatException

After:

if hat is None:
    raise NoHatException

Explanation:

In Python is refers to reference equality - where you want to check if something is the same object. Equals == checks value equality, to check that the objects are equal to each other. In Python the None object is a singleton, so it is correct to use is when comparing to it.
