The former case is a *conversion* from an expression that *does not* have an interpretation in a numerical context to an integer. The latter case is a *canonicalization* from an expression that *does* have an interpretation in a boolean context to the equivalent boolean constant. I don't have a problem with that. YMMV. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
