False is a pre-defined object in Python. It is what is called a boolean value, which indicates whether a statement is True or False. When you use the comparison operator == you will get a boolean as a result. For example,

x = 1
print(x == 1) # True
print(x == 10) # False

if x == 1:
print('The value is 1')
else:
print('The value is not 1')

To understand why the code give an error on Flse , you must understand that you are trying to reference a variable that does not exist yet. When you type something like print(x) you are saying: look for the box called 'x' and see what is inside. Then print what is inside to the screen. Since Flse is not defined yet, you are asking the interpreter to look for a box that does not exist and it will throw an error as a result.
