Why does assigning to True/False not work as I expect?

Question

As part of answering another question, I wrote the following code whose behaviour seems bizarre at first glance:

print True                    # outputs true         


        

Answer 1

You can check whether True/False is a keyword:

>>> import keyword
>>> keyword.iskeyword('True')
False

Since it's not (in my version), assigning True=False just means "True" is another "variable" name.
