But that doesn't answer the question why the developers chose "True" to be a keyword and "int" to be a looked-up name. and pretending to justify that choice by stating that the python thought is: We're all adults here, if you want to override a builtin, who are we to stop you. That is disingenuous. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
