One or both of the following:

   >>> 0 == True
   False
   >>> True and False
   False
   >>> 1 > 0
   True

Or the fact that (1 > 0 == True) means ((1 > 0) and (0 == True)),
where each expression in such a chain is evaluated once, though in
this case it really does not matter since 0 is a literal.

Hm, I don't know if the evaluation short-circuits. I think not, but
I've never needed to know, and I don't need to know now.
