[issue21993] counterintuitive behavior of list.index with boolean values

[Wolfgang Maier]

Wolfgang Maier added the comment:

No, it's not that simple and I don't think this should be closed:

In my example:
>>> l = ['a', '', {}, 2.7, 1, 0, False, True]
>>> l.index(True)
4
>>> l.index(False)
5

if using __eq__ consistently, you'd expect the first call to return 0 and the second 1 (since the empty string evaluates to False).
