That is totally cool. I see something here every day that I know will
be useful. Although Python choked on the semicolon in front of freddy.

Oops, my bad. It should, of course be a quote sign.

And using True in place of 1 is sneakily pedagogical ;')

It's not 'in place of' 1, it is a totally different value and type.
It's only a happy coincidence that bool(1) returns True. So does bool(-9) after all...
