Artifactopenrewrite-migrate-python

Replace if cond: return True / else: return False with return cond and the inverse with return not cond, including the fallthrough variant without an explicit else. A condition other than a comparison, a not, or an and/or of those is returned as bool(cond). The rewrite is declined where bool is not the builtin or the removed statements hold comments.

mod config recipes pip install openrewrite-migrate-python
mod config recipes jar install org.openrewrite.recipe:rewrite-migrate-python:RELEASE
mod config recipes jar install org.openrewrite:rewrite-python:RELEASE
