Given my silly problems trying to write a class which overwrite logical operations like 'and', 'or' and 'not', which is not possible by now [...] I would like to propose to extend the PEP 285 to add boolean operations that can be overloaded as the rest of the operations in python.

Sorry, PEP 285 is already accepted and implemented, and your proposal has nothing to do with a Boolean type. I've tried to explained before why this can't be done.
