why same index is being shown by python in this tuple?

Question

in: my_tuple=('a',9,1,True,'a', [2,5])

in: my_tuple.index(1), my_tuple.index(True)

out: (2, 2)

can anyone explain what exactly is going on? Why index of the entry True and 1 are displayed the same?

Answer 1

Since True == 1:

>>> 1 == True
True
>>> (1, True,).index(True)
0

bool subclasses from int in Python, and in Python 3.x, you will always have False = 0 and True = 1.

>>> isinstance(True, int)
True
>>> int(True)
1
