Subject: [PATCH] Update Boolean field to more closely match python library

Python Reference:
distutils.util.strtobool(val)
Convert a string representation of truth to true (1) or false (0).
True values are y, yes, t, true, on and 1; false values are n, no, f, false, off and 0. Raises ValueError if val is anything else.
