I have the following doubt:
>>> a = [200,100]
>>> a[True]
Exit >>> 100
>>> a = [200,100]
>>> a[False]
Exit >>> 200
Why does this happen? The first value is false and the second true?

This is because false is equal to 0 and true is equal to 1.
Then it would be the same thing:
a = [200,100]
a[1]
Output >>> 100
a = [200,100]
a[0]
Output >>> 200
In Python any value other than 0 automatically is true when you are doing some logical check, for example:
(3 == true) //true
(0 == true) //false

Excellent, thank you very much for the reply!

This is a C inheritance, probably. In C, false is indicated by
0, already true would be everything different from0, often convened as1– Jefferson Quesado
