I tend to add is to booleans toreally differentiate between a method name and a status.

def open_file_dialog(self):
    self.dialog_file_is_open = True
    pass

That way, it's easier for my dumb brain to spot which is which at a glance.

No fiting. IS always goes at the start of names for booleans you are correct

that works for 2 word names eg is_open or is_file, but in this case is_dialog_file_open is structured like a question, while dialog_file_is_open is structured like a statement

Doesn't matter, the point is that, if it starts with "is" then you automatically know it's a boolean.

It still works. is_this_thing_some_thingy. Is is just a prefix for if the suffix returns true/false.
