    I tend to add is to booleans toreally differentiate between a method name and a status.

    def open_file_dialog(self):
        self.dialog_file_is_open = True
        pass
    

    That way, it’s easier for my dumb brain to spot which is which at a glance.

          that works for 2 word names eg is_open or is_file, but in this case is_dialog_file_open is structured like a question, while dialog_file_is_open is structured like a statement

            Doesn’t matter, the point is that, if it starts with “is” then you automatically know it’s a boolean.
