Ish

Ish is a stupid library that allows you to test if a variable is true-ish or false-ish.

It exports a single variable called ish, which can be subtracted from True or False to create a TrueIsh or FalseIsh object. This can be compared with the value to see if it either:

1. Evaluates to True
2. Is a string containing the English, French, German, Danish, Dutch, Afrikaans, Swedish, Norwegian, Portuguese, Irish, Esperanto or Arabic for either Yes or No (or a handful of slang words with the same meaning).

If it is a string containing none of these known words, it raises a ValueError

if 'Yup' == True-ish:
    print 'True-ish!'

It also does some things I haven't documented yet.

Compatibility

Ish is compatible with Python 2.7, 3.3+ and PyPy.

Running Tests

Install tox. Run tox in the top-level directory. This should run the tests against all supported Python versions.
