The only way I could get it to work:

cur.execute(sql.SQL("select 'f' IS {}").format(sql.SQL('TRUE')))

or

cur.execute(sql.SQL("select 'f' IS {}").format(sql.SQL(str(True))))

cur.fetchone() 
 

(False,)

cur.execute(sql.SQL("select 'f' IS {}").format(sql.SQL('NULL'))) 
 


cur.fetchone() 
 
                            (False,)
