R. David Murray added the comment:
>>> issubclass(bool, int)
True
>>> True == 1
True
[41846 refs]
>>> False == 0
True
This is fundamental to Python, so it is not obvious that it is a good idea to mention bool explicitly in the sys.exit docs. Perhaps we could change it to say "int (or an int subclass such as bool)".
