gh-82012: Deprecate bitwise inversion (~) of bool by timhoffm · Pull Request #103487 · python/cpython (original) (raw)
The bitwise inversion operator on bool returns the bitwise inversion of the
underlying int value; i.e. ~True == -2 such that bool(~True) == True.
It's a common pitfall that users mistake ~ as negation operator and actually
want not. Supporting ~ is an artifact of bool inheriting from int. Since there
is no real use-case for the current behavior, let's deprecate ~ on bool and
later raise an error. This removes a potential source errors for users.

This also pulls the bool type to top-level of the type description page. Before it was only documented in the section "Other Built-in Types / Boolean Values".
