Apparently not as such:
http://lucene.apache.org/java/docs/api/org/apache/lucene/document/Field.html

But you can create a field with the value "True" or "False" instead and test 
for that. You could also create a field with a binary value of '\x00' or 
'\x01'.

Maybe someone at java-user at lucene.apache.org would have a better idea as your 
question is not specific to PyLucene but is a more general Lucene 
usage question anyway ?

Andi..
