Was this meant to be a challenge?  No better way to get me to fix the
problem  :-)

And fix it I did.  No boolean.py necessary.  All I did was use
os.environ to flag when we were in setup.py.

I tested it after blowing away build and site-packages/Ft.  Works.  It
gives the error message in the install dir, and doesn't outside of it.

All is well, I think.
