Please provide me an example.

>>> mail = None
>>> mail
>>> mail = mail or ''
>>> mail
''

Why in 2nd case the returned value of mail is None. Why shouldn't it
be the empty string since mail = None which is false.

How exactly Python parses those two statements in english words?

>>> mail = None
>>> mail
>>> mail = '' or mail
>>> mail
>>>

Can you please also provide an example of what happens if i use the
special formatting identidier `%` instead of a comma?
