The permissiveness makes it less painful to upgrade to new versions of Python. True and False only recently got assigned conventional values, but you can still import old modules without worrying whether they might violate the new rule; if True and False once meant something special to them, it will still mean the same thing. Meanwhile new code can follow the new conventions. Mel. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
