I think there's a desire by some people to get rid of unnecessary conceptual baggage left over for historical reasons. Those people are mystified as to why anyone would *want* a boolean to behave like an int. Personally I'm +0 on this. I wouldn't object if it happened, but I'm not pushing for it. -- Greg _______________________________________________ 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
