How can you replace all False values in list with empty strings?

Question

I have the following Python list:

a = [2, 3, 4, False, 10, 1, False, 20]

I would like to know which pythonic way would be used to replace all Falses with ''. I have tried to find a .replace method but can not find something applicable to all items (as it happens in Pandas).

Python 2.7

`a[:] = ['' if value is False else value for value in a]` – Peter Wood Oct 03 '19 at 22:29 — Peter Wood, Oct 03 '19 at 22:29

    a = [2, 3, 4, False, 10, 1, False, 20]
    a = [each if each != False else '' for each in a];
    print(a)

Check out this article. I got this to work in an online python compiler. I literally just saw Peter's answer after I posted. Rip me.
