I can’t test it now, but to me it looks like () is an empty tuple. Python behavior is that for logic operations empty set equals to false. Then we apply not to get True. Not having space between not operator and parentheses makes it look like it is a function.
I think it’s because
not()is equivalent tonot(None), and sinceNoneis falsynot(None)returnsTrue.Are you sure?

Why is literally nothing equivalent to None? Is it because None is the default value of an optional parameter? (If so why oh why is it optional)
God I love python
in J, many other languages, not null is null.
