How about adding a new pure bool type to the language without changing any of the old PyFalse/PyTrue code (at first) ?! =20 Then leave the code in for one release to see how people feel about it in real life and enable a warning for incorrect usage of comparison arithmetic in a second=20 release. The third release would then enable the new logic per default.

from future import boolean ?
