As part of answering another question, I wrote the following code whose behaviour seems bizarre at first glance:

print True                    # outputs true
True = False;    print True   # outputs false
True = True;     print True   # outputs false
True = not True; print True   # outputs true

Can anyone explain this strange behaviour? I think it has something to do with Python's object model but I'm not sure.

It's version 2.5.2 under Cygwin.

python python-2.x
