[Tutor] Negative IF conditions

[Mark Brown]

Hi,
I'm a newbie and was wondering which of these IF conditions is better
structure:

  if not os.path.exists('filename'):
  if os.path.exists('filename') == False:

They both work so if one preferred over the other?
Thanks
Mark Brown

Nathan,
While testing I noticed the same number coming up more that once in a 
set of 6 so what I've done:

import random
while True:
q = raw_input("Do you want a lottery number drawing? 1 for yes, 2 
for no ")
if q == '1':
numbers = []
for i in range(6):
while True:
draw = random.choice(range(1,50))
if not(numbers.count(draw)):
numbers.append(draw)
break
print numbers
elif q == '2':
break
else:
print "Read the instructions please."
