How to convert number 1 to a Boolean in python

Use:

>>> bool(1)
True
>>> bool(0)
False
>>> int(bool(1))
1
>>> int(bool(0))
0

Can convert back too.

Or a clever hack that could be quicker would be:

>>> not not 1
True
>>> not not 0
False
>>> 

Converting back:

>>> int(not not 1)
1
>>> int(not not 0)
0
>>>
