boolean in Python

Question

I know that you can do:

checker = 1
if checker:
    #dostuff

But I enjoy seeing booleans in Java. For instance:

Boolean checker;
if (someDecision)
{
    checker = true;
}
if(checker)
{
    //some stuff
}

Is there such a thing as a Boolean in Python? I can't seem to find anything like it in the documentation.

True ... and False obviously.

checker = None # not necessary
if some_decision:
    checker = True
if checker:
    # some stuff
