[Numpy-discussion] Re: Shouldn't bool_ derive from bool?

[Sasha]

Oops, bool cannot be subclassed in python, but bool is a subclass of
int, so it makes sense to derive from int_, only which int?  In python
bool inherits all number methods from int and overrides only and, or,
and xor.  Maybe bool_ can do the same ...
