From e8e6180f82d4f590387cbf3b68d138f39025913d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Harsh Date: Mon, 13 Oct 2025 23:16:31 +0530 Subject: [PATCH 1/6] extend C1802 to detect len() comparisons with zero MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Add detection for len() comparisons with 0/1 that can be simplified: - len(x) == 0 → not x - len(x) > 0 → x (or bool(x)) - len(x) != 0 → x (or bool(x)) - Reversed operands: 0 == len(x), etc. Implementation: - Add _check_len_comparison_with_zero() method - Add _get_len_comparison_suggestion() for context-aware suggestions - Reuse existing inference and boolean context detection - Handle edge cases: chained comparisons, custom __bool__ --- .../implicit_booleaness_checker.py | 103
