true = 1

[Steven Majewski]

Note that you can also use:

	if 'true' : ...

as well as:

	false = not 'true'

But if somthing was going to be bound to the variables 'True' and 'False',
then a Boolean class like Jeremy Cromwell's suggestion makes more sense
than 1 or 0, because I suspect that some folk might fall into:

	if test() == False

and his boolean class does the right coercion.

The other advantage of a class over constant 0 or 1 is that it can
have a better printable representation for __repr__ and __str__.


Another option:
 you can define functions that can be either boolean tests (when
given an argument) or return Boolean values (with no arg):

>>> def True(*arg):
...     if arg: return arg[0]
...     else: return not arg
...
>>> def False(*arg):
...     if arg: return not arg[0]
...     else: return arg
...
>>> x = False()
>>> if False(x):
...     print 'false'
...
false
