missing-parentheses-for-call-in-test / W0126

Message emitted:

Using a conditional statement with potentially wrong function or method call due to missing parentheses

Description:

Emitted when a conditional statement (If or ternary if) seems to wrongly call a function due to missing parentheses

Problematic code:

import random


def is_it_a_good_day():
    return random.choice([True, False])


if is_it_a_good_day:  # [missing-parentheses-for-call-in-test]
    print("Today is a good day!")

Correct code:

import random


def is_it_a_good_day():
    return random.choice([True, False])


if is_it_a_good_day():
    print("Today is a good day!")
