That's unexpected. Thank you for the insight, Christophe.

Maybe you can play around with IS NOT DISTINCT FROM?

In [1]: import psycopg
In [2]: cnn = psycopg.connect(autocommit=True)
In [5]: cnn.execute("create table dist (id int primary key, cond bool)")
In [7]: cnn.cursor().executemany("insert into dist values (%s,
%s)", [(1, True), (2, False), (3, None)])
In [9]: cnn.execute("select * from dist where cond is not distinct
from %s", [True]).fetchone()
Out[9]: (1, True)
In [10]: cnn.execute("select * from dist where cond is not
distinct from %s", [False]).fetchone()
Out[10]: (2, False)
In [11]: cnn.execute("select * from dist where cond is not
distinct from %s", [None]).fetchone()
Out[11]: (3, None)
