Re: [Python-ideas] Should bool continue to inherit from int?

All of them allow you to write stuff like:

if (((1==1) + (1==0) + (0==0)) == 2)

Packing a number of booleans into an int is another case where bool-int equivalence comes in handy. I've found myself annoyed by this in Java on more than one occasion recently. (Java neither allows bools to be used as ints nor non-bools to be used directly as truth values.) -- Greg
