comparing booleans

[Gerrit Holl]

Hi,

is it proper to compare booleans? It is possible, of course, because
they're compatible with numbers, but booleans aren't truly numbers. I'm
tempted to write:

    return cmp(self.extends, other.extends)

instead of

    if self.extends and not other.extends:
        return 1
    else:
        return -1
# I've already verified self.extends != other.extends

...but somehow comparing Booleans doesn't feel right...
Is my feeling correct?

(Hmm, makes me wonder, for booleans, are != and ^ equal?)

Gerrit.
