[SOLVED]mp_obj_bool_t is private which means you cannot read value of a bool

[jickster]

How do you read the value of a bool?

MP_OBJ_IS_TYPE(o, &mp_type_bool)

But then how do you get the value of a bool?

You cannot cast it to mp_obj_bool_t because that is not in a header.

In general the way to decide truthness is to use mp_obj_is_true(o). This will cover all cases in Python where you are allowed to use an object in place of a bool (eg if you pass 0 or 1).

There's also mp_obj_is_integer(o) which can be used to tell if an object is an integer or bool.

If it's really important to distinguish False and True from 0 and 1 then use the expression: (MP_OBJ_TO_PTR(o) == mp_const_true).
