FWIW, Lisp also does this. But Lisp is slightly simpler as the only false
value is "nil", while everything else is true (including integer zero).

Although Python's any() and all() (which are closer to Lisp's "and" and
"or" insofar as they all work with any number of values, including zero)
always return True or False rather than the final value.
