If someone really really wants a non-int Boolean, it is easy to implement. 5 or 6 lines, depending on whether you count the import statement:
from enum import Enum
class MyBool(Enum):
TRUE = 42
FALSE = 54
def __bool__(self):
return self == MyBool.TRUE
#
# testing
#
mytrue = MyBool.TRUE
try:
print(int(mytrue)) #this fails
except TypeError as te:
print(te)
asbool = bool(mytrue)
if mytrue:
print("yep")
myfalse = MyBool.FALSE
if myfalse:
print("nope")
---
I would never use such a thing, and I would be annoyed if I can across code that did. As has been said (beaten to death?) Python has an existing well-understood boolean type.
