# Pre 2.2.1 compat. try: True, False except NameError: True = 1==1; False = 1==0
I believe this should work for all versions up to 2.4, and would also work with a 2.5 that made True and False constants. But if anyone can prove me wrong it would be you ... :-)
Seems like it might work, though we couldn't have the SyntaxError like we do for None:
>>> try: ... None ... except NameError: ... None = 0 Traceback (SyntaxError: assignment to None
Note that even though I don't actually enter the except block, I still get a SyntaxError.
