[GitHub] [arrow] pitrou commented on pull request #34993: GH-34987: [Python] Truthy/Falsy for boolean scalars

   Having `__bool__` return something else than a boolean, or raise an exception, is generally rather nasty as it breaks a widespread expectation about boolean testing.
   
   Also the boolean value of `None` is well-defined:
   ```pycon
   >>> bool(None)
   False
   ```
