Python documentation for the current stable release.
Boolean Objects¶
Booleans in Python are implemented as a subclass of integers. There are only
two booleans, Py_False
and Py_True
. As such, the normal
creation and deletion functions don’t apply to booleans. The following macros
are available, however.
-
PyObject*
Py_False
¶ The Python
False
object. This object has no methods. It needs to be treated just like any other object with respect to reference counts.
-
PyObject*
Py_True
¶ The Python
True
object. This object has no methods. It needs to be treated just like any other object with respect to reference counts.
-
Py_RETURN_FALSE
¶ Return
Py_False
from a function, properly incrementing its reference count.New in version 2.4.
-
Py_RETURN_TRUE
¶ Return
Py_True
from a function, properly incrementing its reference count.New in version 2.4.
