It has.  I think I commented on it some time back, and the consensus was 
that, as Perry suggested, using .astype(Int32) is the best fix.  I think 
the fact that arithmetic is allowed on booleans without casts is an 
oversight;  standard Python 2.3 allows you to do True+False. Fortran 
would never let you do .TRUE.+.FALSE. :-) .
