Hello, @cclauss, thank you for helping with the Mycroft project! We welcome everyone
into the community and greatly appreciate your help as we work to build an AI
for Everyone.

To protect yourself, the project, and users of Mycroft technologies we require
a Contributor Licensing Agreement (CLA) before accepting any code
contribution. This agreement makes it crystal clear that along with your
code you are offering a license to use it within the confines of this project.
You retain ownership of the code, this is just a license.

Please visit https://mycroft.ai/cla to initiate this one-time signing. Thank
you!

Thanks Christian,

Based off your commit messages I'm guessing you have already completed the CLA form. This is a slightly manual process on our end to avoid abuse, but let me know if an email doesn't arrive and I'll give them a nudge.

Once we have confirmation that it's signed we can merge this in, and the best part is you only have to deal with the CLA once :)

This was actually one of my commits and good to have it flagged. I'm relatively new to Python and was thinking of is and == as synonymous, I even tried to use is more to force myself to be more 'Pythonic'. However I can see now that is compares identities not values which makes a whole lot of sense.
