Convert True/False value read from file to boolean

Question

I\'m reading a True - False value from a file and I need to convert it to boolean. Currently it always converts it to True even if the value is set

Answer 1

I'm not suggested this as the best answer, just an alternative but you can also do something like:

flag = reader[0] == "True"

flag will be True id reader[0] is "True", otherwise it will be False.
