Isn't bool a subclass of int only for historical reasons? I think that 
if bool was in Python from the beginning, it would not be an int subclass.

Operations inherited from int like division or bits shift doesn't make 
sense as boolean operations. The only boolean operations are testing for 
truthfulness, `not`, `and` and `or`. But every object in Python supports 
them. The bool class is just a type of constants True and False.
