It can occur in an arithmetic expression, and 'not' has a higher 
precedence than '+'
(https://docs.python.org/2/reference/expressions.html#operator-precedence)

0 + not 0
should evalutate to
0 + True
1

just like this does:
0 + (not 0)
1


True + True
2

But, it gets confusing......
 >>> not 0 + 1
False
 >>> not 0
True
 >>> True + 1
2
 >>>

i would expect 'not 0 + 1' to return the same value as 'True + 1'
