Why do the integers 0 and 1 compare equal to the boolean values False
and True and all other integers to neither of them?
$ python3

>>> 0 == False
True
>>> 1 == True
True
>>> 2 == False
False
>>> 2 == True
False
>>> -1 == False
False
>>> -1 == True
False
>>>
Since these are objects of different types I would expect they cannot
be equal. I know that 0 means false and != 0 means true in C, C++,
etc. but in Python that surprises me.
