Georg Brandl added the comment:
For me the text is correct. However, it depends on parsing the English sentence in the right way, which can be confusing. The prose means "not (divisible by 2 or 3)" which is equivalent to "not divisible by 2 and not divisible by 3", therefore the Python code has an "and" operator.
It would probably be best to remove the negation, which also removes the ambiguity: "compute a sequence of numbers divisible by 2 or 3" or such.
