Python string comparison using "is" instead of "==" Description: While exploring the repository, I noticed that in Sandbox/make_output_files.py, string comparison is done using "is": if args.heatmap is "F": In newer Python versions, this may lead to unpredictable behavior since "is" checks object identity rather than value equality. It might be safer to use "==". I would be happy to submit a pull request to fix this and check for similar cases across the repository.
