   Indeed, but that’s not the example Stéphane gave. It’s tricky to debug   
   someone’s problem if they don’t describe it accurately.   
      
   A more general solution would be to force the condition to False, e.g.:   
      
      if test1:   
        if False or test2:   
          stuff...   
        more stuff...
