You can just use integers 1 and 0, and they should work fine.

PyTrue and PyFalse are hidden objects.  You can get at them via:

true = 1==1
false = 1==0

Due to a quirk in Python, these variables will then look like ints, but 
are really the PyTrue and PyFalse objects, as shown here:

 >>> true = 1==1
 >>> true
1
 >>> true == 1
1
 >>> true is 1
0
 >>>

HTH,
