>>> b = True >>> isinstance(b, bool) True >>> isinstance(b, int) True >>> c = b + 10 >>> print(c) 11 >>> b = False >>> c = b + 10 >>> print(c) 10 bool is a subtype of integer. I never dug that deep into Python's guts but I assume it goes back to boolean being an afterthought in C. Some people fancy it up with #defines but I always use int. 0 is false, anything else is true. C# is pickier, which I guess is a good thing. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
