You find this in a lot of code:

    from types import *

Given that every other type is exposed through the types module it just
seems kind of odd to force people to use isinstance() for bools, but have
the old way of doing things continue to work for every other type.  I think
you can stop adding new types to the types module if and when you deprecate
it, but not before.
