Surely that should be doubleton :) 2.2: True and False released as names for 1 and 0; bool was a built-in function, but not a type. 2.3: bool promoted to a type; True and False actual bools. The documentation claims that there's only one instance of each. I'm sure that I remember a short period during which Python had bools, but didn't guarantee that there would only be one instance of True and one of False, but I'm damned if I can find any evidence of this. Am I confabulating? -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
