Booleans (bool)

    These represent the truth values False and True. The two objects
    representing the values False and True are the only Boolean
    objects. The Boolean type is a subtype of the integer type, and
    Boolean values behave like the values 0 and 1, respectively, in
    almost all contexts, the exception being that when converted to a
    string, the strings "False" or "True" are returned, respectively.
