About True and wxTrue.
1) wx should be a Python package for Python. wx should not be a "scripting language" that
extends Python. The more pythonic is your code, the better it is.
2) It is true - ;
- that the True / False boolean values are new in Python.
Try this:
True
True
False
False
True = False
True == True
True
True == False
True
The only way to reset the True value is by doing something like this
True = 5 > 3
It's not a bug, it is a design mistake. I wanted once to inform the Python
stuff about this. Unfortunatelly, you have to be registrated to their mail list,
so I did not do it.
I somebody can do it...

Ah, once again raising the eternal question
“What is Truth?”. Apparently in Python, it’s anything you
please (but with a reasonable default).
I do believe that this is perhaps not a design
error, but a well-considered feature – providing a language implementation
in conformance with the underlying “Monty Python” philosophy.
