When I compare to variables from outer scopes they usually are on the right side of '=='.

You mean something like if 2 == x: ? I never write code like that, and I haven't seen it, either.

Hm. I mean this:

const = 'something'

def foo(arg): if arg == const: do something

Note that "const" is on the right side of "==".

Would you write this as

def foo(arg): if const == arg:

? ;)
