bool behavior in Python 3000?

[Alan Isaac]

Since it is seemingly ignored in most of the comments
on this thread, I just want to remind that PEP 285
http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0285/
says this:

       In an ideal world, bool might be better implemented as a
       separate integer type that knows how to perform mixed-mode
       arithmetic.

I mentioned Python 3000 since that is an opportunity for an ideal world.

Cheers,
