At first I thought this was perfectly correct behaviour.
Because Python uses lazy evaluation.

But this is no boolean condition, which is the place I expect
this behaviour (such as "if a==b and c==d: ....").

Why indeed is the "is good" part not evaluated?

By the way if you change it to "3==3 is good", you do get the NamingError.
