Description
Using a conditional statement with a constant value is pointless and will always evaluate to either True or False. This might not be what is intended.
Bad practice
if 100:
print('This will always run')
if False:
print('This will never run')
Recommended
Getting rid of the always True check, and removing the block that is never run will have the same behaviour:
print('This will always run')
