New submission from noobie1000 <balajes...@gmail.com>:
Hello, Recently I observed that isinstance(x, int) returns True, even when x is defined as a bool. While I understand that internally, a bool is treated as an int with values 0 and 1; to me, this is a bit misleading that the python interpreter returns True when we perform the isinstance() check. May be I'm missing some deeper explanation. Could someone please shed some light on this. Has this been discussed by the community in the past. Thank you very much for reading this ticket. >>> x = True >>> isinstance(x, int) True ---------- components: IO messages: 406926 nosy: noobie1000 priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: bool variable isinstance of int type: behavior versions: Python 3.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue45891> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
