[Python-ideas] Please reconsider the Boolean evaluation of midnight

[Guido van Rossum]

FWIW what *is* the status of this proposal? It feels reasonable to change

being relied on in real code (it did find the unit test :-). Although I'm
sure he only searched a limited corpus. If someone wants to do a more
thorough search before deciding I can point them to the software needed.
