Why does … == True return False in Python 3?

Question

I am learning python, but I\'m a bit confused by the following result.

In [41]: 1 == True
Out[41]: True

In [42]: if(1):
    ...:     print(\'111\')
    ...:             


        

Answer 1

I believe it's 1 == True here is that's weird, not that ... != True.

1 equals with True because in Python booleans are subclass of integers (because of PEP-285). See yourself:

>>> issubclass(bool, int)
True
