I'm working in python with a c# library I occasionally have to edit. In python, booleans are specified as True/False. In c#, as true/false. This is driving me crazy. Is there a way to use #define or something to make c# recognize True/False as true/false?

4@QualityCatalyst has your best answer, but it's bad practice all around to do this kind of thing (it will confuse anyone who reads your code). Just use `True` and `False` like a good Microsoft customer. – Sam Estep Jul 01 '15 at 22:31

1@QualityCatalyst you might think about moving that comment to an answer. That way others that search this question can find the answer a little easier. – Matt Rowland Jul 02 '15 at 00:16

I agree. Pad it a bit and you have a free green check. – Carbon Jul 02 '15 at 04:33

One way is to declare a constant that reflects the true value.
public const bool True = true;
I personally wouldn't go down this path though as it seems to be more like a personal choice. It may confuse other developers and doesn't add general value.
