[Python-Dev] Boolean transition

Yes, but my implicit point was that if you're serious about
this you should find some way beyond good-will,
to enforce the change from 0/1 to True/False
in all new and old code.

Otherwise your benefit is negligible
or you should use a lot of bool() to avoid
the progation of the evil 0/1 that are
flags and could mix with integers that are integers.

>From my observatory I don't see the danger
of the evil propagation, just the 0/1/True/False
confusion, but I already left that issue to Guido's
taste.
