Possibly these two fields need to be included in BOOLEAN_FIELDS
ShowInExpenseClaims
EnablePaymentsToAccount

If I understand, I agree and think that there are several other fields that should be added to the Boolean Field list. If I do a simple "item = xero.items.get(productcode), then "item['Name']='New product name'", then xero.items.save(item), I get this same error message. Since Xero gave me "True" as a boolean, I shouldn't have to alter any other values in posting this back.

item = {u'ItemID': u'b5442fbe-e515-4913-aee4-e496a2e3bx33', u'Code': u'Prod2', u'Description': u'Demo Product Two', u'SalesDetails': {}, u'UpdatedDateUTC': datetime.datetime(2016, 8, 18, 18, 31, 6, 110000), u'IsPurchased': True, u'IsTrackedAsInventory': False, u'IsSold': True, u'PurchaseDetails': {}, u'ValidationErrors': []}

There are still some boolean Item fields which are missing from BOOLEAN_FIELDS tuple which cause this issue to occur. IsTrackedAsInventory, IsSold, IsPurchased.
