Docs nit: at http://docs.python.org/dev/library/stdtypes.html#boolean-values we have """ The built-in function bool() can be used to cast any value to a Boolean ... """ It's a little unusual to talk about casting in Python. Any objections to replacing 'cast' with 'convert'? |

'bool' is just one of many conversion functions that convert their argument to the type they designate. Does this doc problem only exist for 'bool' or also for 'int', 'float' and others? |

Fixed! @Eli At least in the doc, I haven't seen any other suspicious use of 'cast'. |
