Answer 1

In python there no real boolean values True and False. So, 1 and True are totally same, and your litteral dict declaration override the value of '1' key by the value of 'True' key ^^

On the other hand, the string "1" is different of the integer '1', so you can make distinct keys with string and number...

Answer 2

it is taking 1 as boolean true. so maybe typecasting it into an integer might help.

Answer 3

think you! very much.^^
