[Tutor] Defining "bit" type

[Vicent]

Hello.

As fas as I know, there is a "bytes" type in Python 3, which is a sequence
of bytes.

Anyway, I am working with Python 2.5.4, and I am interested in defining a
new type called "bit" (if possible), which represents a number that can only
take values 0 or 1 —that's what we would call a "binary variable", in a
Mathematical Programming context.

I want to define that new data type within my code, so that I can use it in
the same way I would use "int", "long" and "float" data types, for instance.

How can I do that? If you can give me some hint or any web reference, I
would appreciate it.

Thank you in advance.
