when in doubt, consult the language reference:

    http://www.python.org/doc/current/ref/ref.html
    => expressions => boolean operations

    "The expression 'x and y' first evaluates x; if x is false,
    its value is returned; otherwise, y is evaluated and the
    resulting value is returned."
