XML-RPC defines a Boolean data type, so xmlrpclib defines a Boolean class
with True and False instances. Programmers wanting to send boolean values
must pass one of them (and expect to receive them when data arrives). Given
that Py_True and Py_False are sitting there just below the surface, it seems
a (small) shame that /F had to do that, more so now that xmlrpclib is part
of the core distribution.
Interestingly (or oddly, not sure which) enough, Lib/test/test_iter.py also
defines a small Boolean class.
