This is already the case with Event. Look at threading.py @line ~355 Event class has a kinda private attribute _flags which is set/unset right before notifying. Using a boolean would look almostly the same so why to reinvent the wheel ? :) If you look also at is_set(), it has the same meanings than __bool__() (ie returning True or False according to object's status). My suggest is only to had the following two lines: def __bool__(self): return self.is_set() ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8486> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
