Is there a reason why BooleanField does not return boolean objects?

[Mohamed Barwani <mohamedb@xxxxxxx>]

class BooleanField(EnumerationField):
    """A field containing a boolean value.

    The enumeration contains two values: true and false."""

    def __init__(self, name = "", default_value = None, **properties):

        # Construct the base class.
        EnumerationField.__init__(self, name, default_value,
                                  ["true", "false"], **properties)
                                      ^^____^^ both are strings not 
bolean objects. Why?

cheers
