The not yet released version of PyMatrix, which subsclasses NumArray, 
behaves as follows:

import PyMatrix.matrix as _m
p = _m.M([1, 1, 0, 0], type= _m._nt.Bool)
q = _m.M([1, 0, 1, 0], type= _m._nt.Bool)
print p ^ q     # -> [[F T T F]]
print p & q     # -> [[T F F F]]
print p | q     # -> [[T T T F]]
