[New-bugs-announce] [issue38445] os.path.exists() takes bool as argument and returns True

[Nika]

New submission from Nika <nika.boeblingen at mail.ru>:

os.path.exists() accepts either True or False as argument and returns True.
Reproducible on Windows, e. g.,  in jupyter notebook or in Eclipse, although not in IDLE, which returns False, as expected.

import os
print(os.path.exists(False))
