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

Using dicts to convert "True" in True:

def str_to_bool(s: str):
    status = {"True": True,
                "False": False}
    try:
        return status[s]
    except KeyError as e:
        #logging
