Well, the first line changes the meanings of the names "True" and
"False", but doesn't change the things they point to. Those things
describe themselves the same way. Here's another thing you can do that
will look the same:

a, b = False, True
print a, b
False True

Fortunately, newer versions of Python don't let you reassign True and False.
