Re: [Zope] Boolean properties ( Zope 2.5)

Like Python < 2.2.1, boolean values return integer types 1 (true) or 0
(false). In the future, Python will provide boolean objects True and
False. So in a Python script:
if propertyValue == 1:
    doSomething()
else:
    cancelAction()
Yeah, but Zope's boolean properties are not necessarily a Python boolean
value.
They can be set to basically anything. You use them like this:
...
if propertyValue:
    doSomething()
else:
    cancelAction()
The "== 1" part will just make the whole thing fail even when the property
box is checked. I think the default "on" value is "on". :-)
