I think it was just expedient to group these together when the bool type was added. I wouldn't lose sleep over it either way.

Is there any reason for testbool to contain assertions like these?

self.assertIs({}.haskey(1), False) self.assertIs({1:1}.haskey(1), True) A significant portion of the file is devoted to making sure various things return bools (isinstance, operator.*) or handle bools correctly (pickle, marshal). Since these don't test the functionality of the bool type, is there a reason not to move these tests to more appropriate test files (eg, testpickle) or removing them altogether (if they duplicate existing tests)? I've started on this somewhat, but I thought I'd ask before I spent too much time on it. Collin Winter
