import sys
pigword="Razzamattaz"
print ("Pig Latin")
print ("Pick a word containing only alphabetical characters",pigword)
if len(pigword) > 0:
    print (pigword)
else:
    print ("empty")
if pigword.isalpha() == "True":
    print (pigword)
    print ("True")
else:
    print ("WTF")
print(pigword.isalpha())

What am I doing wrong?

pigword isalpha
the test for true should have passed.
The test for true din't pass even though it prints pigword.isalpha()
True after the else statment.

Also, if is already a boolean test, and it is more Pythonic to simply write "if
pigword.isalpha():".
