[Neil Girdhar] > It seems that builtins.bool and numpy.bool_ would both be elements of Boolean
I'd be wary of trying to abstract over `bool` and `numpy.bool_`. There are some fundamental differences: - `bool` subclasses `int`; `numpy.bool_` is not a subclass of any integer type - moreover, `numpy.bool_` isn't considered integer-like. It _does_ currently support `__index__`, but that support is deprecated, so at some point in the future a `numpy.bool_` may not be usable in many of the contexts that a Python bool is. (cf https://bugs.python.org/issue37980) - some bitwise operations behave differently: `~False` is not equal to `~np.False_`, and similarly for `True` What's the motivation for this? Is this intended primarily for use in type annotations, or did you have some other use in mind? -- Mark _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/5H24NXYMFM5NIJ5YMGIH7W5FCLPOCL63/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
