Fred Drake 3c1ff5c766 When adding a name to the table of macros and environments, make sure it

happen in a well-defined conversion.

Andrew M. Kuchling 3a52ff6df4 Add empty section for bool 2002-04-03 22:44:47 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 77f6a65eb0 Add the 'bool' type and its values 'False' and 'True', as described in
PEP 285.  Everything described in the PEP is here, and there is even
some documentation.  I had to fix 12 unit tests; all but one of these
were printing Boolean outcomes that changed from 0/1 to False/True.
(The exception is test_unicode.py, which did a type(x) == type(y)
style comparison.  I could've fixed that with a single line using
issubtype(x, type(y)), but instead chose to be explicit about those
places where a bool is expected.

Still to do: perhaps more documentation; change standard library
modules to return False/True from predicates.

Jeremy Hylton e604875b81 Restore a minimal definition of execution frame, since other parts of
the manual refer to it.

XXX Not sure that it belongs in this section, or that the concept is
