[New-bugs-announce] [issue18926] plistlib - str converted to bool

[Raymond Piller]

New submission from Raymond Piller:

A plist with:
<key>My key</key>
<string>False</string>

will parse to a dict as:
{'My key': False}

Expected:
{'My key': 'False'}

If bool(False) is needed, the plist should say:
<key>My key</key>
<false/>
