I've been using Python for a while (4 years) so I feel like a moron
writing this post because I think I should know the answer to this
question:
How do I make a dictionary which has distinct key-value pairs for 0,
False, 1 and True.
As I have learnt, 0 and False both hash to the same value (same for 1
and True).
>>> b = {0:'xyz', False:'abc'}
>>> b
{0: 'abc'} # Am I the only one who thinks this is weird?
This obviously stems from the fact that 0 == False but 0 is not False
etc. etc.
That doesn't help my case where I need to distinguish between the two
The same issue applies in a list:
Suppose I do:
>>> a = [0, 1, True, False]
>>> a.index(False)
0
Wha??? Help.
