But that doesn't answer the question why the developers chose "True" to be a keyword and "int" to be a looked-up name.
Probably because True, False and None are very frequently used constants. Making them keywords means that things like 'while True:' don't incur the overhead of a name lookup every time around the loop. The same doesn't apply to other built-in names, which are used much less frequently. -- Greg -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
