Issue 659604: optparse store_true uses 1 and 0 (original) (raw)

When using store_true and store_false actions, the optparse module sets the values to 1 and 0, rather than True and False.

Problems with optparse.py should be addressed via Optik's project page, CVS archive, etc. I've fixed Optik to use True/False when available; that fix made it into Optik1.4.1. I'll be checking in a revised optparse.py based on Optik 1.4.1 real soon now (as soon as it passes its test suite).
