I think it's a little strange and possibly problematic that type(1) is 'int' and type(True) is 'bool' but 1 == True specifically evaluates to True even though anything else, even if it evaluates to True when cast as a boolean, is not == True.
>>> 1 == True True >>> 2 == True False >>> 0 == False True >>> 2 == False False I guess I just need to remember to always look on the bright side of life.
