How would you define "Boolean entities"?  Do you mean the True and False
values?  Such a change would break virtually every Python program ever
written.

In any case, this idea is dead in the water.  It would break a whole bunch
of existing code from before the conditional operator:

    xxx = testme and truevalue or falsevalue
