Python will never prevent you from assigning "2" to a variable anyhow.
There's the primary reason that there is little demand for a Python
boolean. It would prevent few mistakes and is thus not that useful. I
think it is a little bit more syntactically nice to say "true" and
"false" but it is not a large deal.

Another thing that would be nice....
