It's just bad style, because both 'yes' and 'no' evaluate true.

if HasDiacritics('éléphant'):
    print('Correct!')

if HasDiacritics('elephant'):
    print('Error!')

Prints:

Correct!
Error!

You could replace the test with "if HasDiacritics('elephant') ==
'yes':", but why force the caller to write that out when the former
test is more natural and less prone to error (e.g. typoing 'yes')?
