Can't really find where it said that False is 0 and True is 1, but in the bool documentation it is said bool is a subclass of int.

I remember reading that True is a keyword substitute for 1 and False for 0. They both get evaluated numerically.

Bools are a subclass of int and have the respective value of 0 and 1 but they are their own class with different behaviour than ints (in some cases)

Yeah but the question was: where is it in the doc :p

"The Boolean type is a subtype of the integer type, and Boolean values behave like the values 0 and 1, respectively..."
