When a constant is used as a condition, either it has no effect on the execution flow and it can be removed, or some code will never be executed
and it is a bug.
Code examples
Noncompliant code example
def foo():
a = True
if a: # Noncompliant: the condition is always true
return 1
else:
return 2
Compliant solution
def foo():
a = bar()
if a:
return 1
else:
return 2
