What is a convenient way to store and retrieve boolean values in a CSV file
<p>If I store a boolean value using the CSV module it gets converted to the strings 'True' or 'False' by the str() function. However when I load those values, a string of 'False' evaluates to being True because it's a non-empty string.</p>

<p>I can work around it by 'manualy' checking the string at read time with an IF statement to see what the string is, but it's somewhat less than  elegant. Any better ideas, or is this just one of those things in the programming world?</p>
