I just upgraded my Python install, and for the first time have True and False rather than 1 and 0. I was playing around at the command line to test how they work (for instance, "if 9:" and "if True:" both lead to the conditional being executed, but True == 9 -> False, that this would be true was not obvious to me -- "True is True" is True, while "9 is True" is false even though 9 evaluates to True.) Anyhow, in doing my tests, I accidentally typed
>>> False = 0 rather than >>> False == 0 and I lost the False statement. Thus, >>> False 0 To get it back, I found that I could do >>> False = (1 == 2) which seems to put False back to False, but this seems weird. >>> 1 = 0 throws an error (can't assign to literal), why doesn't False = 0 throw the same error? Also, why doesn't False = 0 make >>> 1 == 2 0 Instead of False? -d -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
