Does 'and' short circuit?

[noahspurrier at my-deja.com]

Does the 'and' statement short-circuit?
For example are the following statements safe?

    x={'notfoo':1}
    if x.has_key('foo') and x.get('foo') == 1:
        print 'bar'

It seems to work under the interpreter, but I
have not been able to find a confirmation to this
in the online documentation or tutorial.

Thanks,
Noah
