R. David Murray added the comment: >>> issubclass(bool, int) True >>> True == 1 True [41846 refs] >>> False == 0 True
This is fundamental to Python, so it is not obvious that it is a good idea to mention bool explicitly in the sys.exit docs. Perhaps we could change it to say "int (or an int subclass such as bool)". ---------- nosy: +r.david.murray versions: -Python 3.2, Python 3.3, Python 3.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23083> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
