I think I'm going to leave bool as bool and not int. I was actually
considering implementing int separately later. (for port numbers and
such) I am going to stick to my guns and say that Python 2.3 is the
requirement. Soon the code will have a check for that. Otherwise I'm
going to find myself tracking down bugs that wouldn't exist if the user
weren't running an older version of python.
