Don't know Python, but seems like

if 3_major: 1N
elif dbl

But yes your routine is more concise.

I frankly couldn't understand the question well enough to answer, at least not in any committal way.

Wouldn't everyone want to know the actual holding we have before answering the question? I mean, if they open 1 I might, according to the poll, hold AQxx AQxx KJx 10x, and who in their right mind would bid 1N?

Or they might open 1 and I hold xxxx AQxx AKJ Qx, and now 1N looks pretty reasonable. I don't see how a poll answer can address these issues in a meaningful way.

I can answer about their opening a major...I would strain to bid 1N with 4=4=3=2 or 4=4=2=3 and suitable strength, honours.....a double based on having 4 cards in only one side suit, and a doubleton in another, strikes me as very poor.


100% agree

As do I. Sadly, though, these hands are outwith the conditions of the poll, as was clarified in response to the quoted post.
