I was able to succesfully implement True and False by making them tokens(I do want them to be reserved ala py3k), so thanks for the help with that! I am also looking over the things on indentation, although I suspect that will be something that goes in later. Right now I am having some issue implementing 'and' 'or' and 'not'. Right now I have them implemented the same way I do other unary and binary operators which I suspect isn't working. Right now whenever I try True or False, or not True, or True and False I get a syntax error, and I'm not sure what causes this. All my code is here: http://github.com/alex/alex-s-language/tree/master
