[issue25243] decouple string-to-boolean logic from ConfigParser.getboolean and offer as separate function

[Joshua Bronson]

Joshua Bronson added the comment:

One way this could be offered is as a new static method on bool (something like bool.parse_str?), but I of course defer to the better judgment of the Python core developers. I'd be happy to take a crack at a patch adding it wherever you like, if you like.
