    `needsBuild` / `not needsBuild` is presumably sufficient (unless you're expecting more than two possible values) - but do you have a question? – Jon Clements Jun 26 '13 at 17:16
  • Yes my question is how do i scan the ToBuildOrNot.run('MSS_sims') for the true or false return value? – Barry Taylor Jun 26 '13 at 17:21
  • Why this question now - instead of elaborating on your [previous question](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17323564/how-do-scan-a-script-for-return-values-from-a-upper-script-in-python) – Jon Clements Jun 26 '13 at 17:23

    What do you mean by "scan"? You've stored the result in `needsBuild`. You can then use `if needsBuild:` or `if not needsBuild:` like you would for any other if block – recursive Jun 26 '13 at 17:23

Use == for equality check not is, is is used for identity check.

if needsBuild == True:
    print "The MSS_sims Needs To rebuilt"

elif needsBuild == False:
    print "The MSS_sims does NOT Need to be Rebuilt"

else:
    print "error

  • Additionally, it's better to raise an exception for an error, probably, instead of returning `True`, `False`, or "something else". – Wooble Jun 26 '13 at 17:28
