I sure hope this never happens! It would break millions of working lines and kill a common useful pattern.

ntrue = sum(this == that for this, that in items)

-100.

I know this has come up in the past.

Could the consensus have changed regarding bool's inheritance from int?

This is not intuitive (to me), and recently bit me as a bug:
Python 3.9.1 (default, Dec 13 2020, 11:55:53) 
[GCC 10.2.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> {1,True}
{1}
I've worked around it by storing tuple(type, value) in the set, which is fugly. Yes, I need mixed types in the set, and I'm using the set for efficient lookup.

A contrived example I dreamed-up, which I also find non-intuitive:
>>> x = {}
>>> x[True] = 1
>>> x
{True: 1}
>>> x[1] = 1
>>> x
{True: 1}
Maybe a wish list item for Python 4.0?
