thanks to all for the suggestions i thimk i will use the '=' operator
what do you mean with 'depending on how you want nulls handled' ???

test4=# create table test (a text, b boolean);
CREATE TABLE
test4=# insert into test values ('aaa', true), ('bbb', false), ('ccc',
null);
INSERT 0 3
test4=# select * from test;
a | b
-----+---
aaa | t
bbb | f
ccc |
(3 rows)

test4=# select * from test where b = true;
a | b
-----+---
aaa | t
(1 row)

test4=# select * from test where b is true;
a | b
-----+---
aaa | t
(1 row)

test4=# select * from test where b = null;
a | b
---+---
(0 rows)

test4=# select * from test where b is null;
a | b
-----+---
ccc |
(1 row)

I will use '= True' or '= False' in psycopg cur.execute with parameter
substitution and 'IS NULL' without parameter when i need to check the
null value
