I don't know much Tcl, but I'm definitely prepared to believe you on this point. :) I'd be fine with this patch if there's some documentation somewhere that points out that the bool() might give unexpected results (for Python users) for zeros, empty lists, etc. I assume that Tcl_GetCharLength works for any object, regardless of its internal representation? Can you update the patch for py3k, and add docs and tests?
