You should know, though, that numeric values equal to 1 (and 0 for False) _are_ == True. This works for dictionary keys, array indexes, etc. The bool type is actually a subclass of int. Mathematical operations on it will simply return an int, or float for division - logical operations and bitwise and/or/xor return bool (bitwise not returns an int because it returns the values -1 and -2) So checking if something is == True is the same as checking if it's == 1, and checking if it's == False is the same as checking if it's == 0. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
