In Python 3, None, True, and False are keywords, so clearly, the

Interestingly enough, the semantics of True, False and None are
different from one another in 2.6:
True = "blah" and False = 6 are perfectly legal in Python <=2.6.
True and False didn't get the same treatment as None because we didn't
want to break the follow compatibility workaround for Python version
prior to 2.2.2:
try:
True
except NameError:
True, False = 1, 0
Cheers,
