No, deliberately not. Read this for Python 3.0
http://docs.python.org/3.0/reference/expressions.html#boolean-operations
and/or this for Python 2.X
http://docs.python.org/reference/expressions.html#boolean-operations
[essentially the only difference in 3.0 is a change to the protocol
that allows a non-builtin object to say whether it is true or false]
