isinstance and bool

[y47bears]

Why doesn't isinstance(param, bool) work? The error shows that the function is evaluating as the int 1 instead of as a boolean.

Because True and False is also 1 and 0.. Which is an int... xD

It wont work the other way around though using isinstance...

For example:

>>> isinstance(True, int)
True
>>> isinstance(False, int)
True
>>> True == 1
True
>>> False == 0
True
>>> 1 == True
True
>>> 0 == False
True
>>> dd = True
>>> if dd == 1:
	print('True or 1... Same difference')

True or 1... Same difference

BUT then if you try checking if 1 or 0 is a bool using isinstance it gives False:

>>> isinstance(1, bool)
False
>>> isinstance(0, bool)
False

Does that make sense or did I just confuse you? Lol

Edit: Also, HINT: Since when using isinstance((True or False), int) returns True but isinstance(ANYNUMBER, bool) returns False, which one do you need to make sure goes first so that when True or False is passed it if correctly evaluated as a bool?
