How to convert ‘false’ to 0 and ‘true’ to 1 in Python

Question

Is there a way to convert true of type unicode to 1 and false of type unicode to 0 (in Python)?

For example: x

Answer 1

Any of the following will work:

s = "true"

(s == 'true').real
1

(s == 'false').real
0

(s == 'true').conjugate()    
1

(s == '').conjugate()
0

(s == 'true').__int__()
1

(s == 'opal').__int__()    
0


def as_int(s):
    return (s == 'true').__int__()

>>>> as_int('false')
0
>>>> as_int('true')
1
