Check if a function returns false in Python

In python, I am currently doing this:

if user_can_read(request.user, b) == False: 

Is there any other way of checking if the function returns False?

You could just use

if user_can_read(request.user, b): ## do stuff 

If user_can_read returns anything (except 0, False, etc), it will be considered True, and do stuff.

And the negation: if not user_can_read(request.user, b)
