5.2. Boolean Operations — and, or, not
These are the Boolean operations, ordered by ascending priority:
Operation Result Notes
x or y if x is false, then y, else x (1)
x and y if x is false, then x, else y (2)
not x if x is false, then True, else False (3)
The second line is puzzling at first look, but consistent.
It is analogous to the Conditional Expression.
