It's not.  ConfigParser has nothing to do with XML.

Python 2.2.2 does define True, False, and bool(), just not as new the
bool type introduced in Python 2.3:

Python 2.2.2 (#4, Oct 14 2002, 13:59:09) 
[GCC 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.1 2.96-98)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> True
1
>>> False
0
>>> type(True)
<type 'int'>

If those are not defined, you're not running Python 2.2.2 as
released.
