I expected the Boolean operations to yield  
element-by-element comparisons.  What are they??  In 
contrast, the + and * operators give the expected results.

>>> a=scipy.array([1,2,3,4])
>>> b= a==3
>>> c= a>3
>>> b
array([False, False, True, False], dtype=bool)
>>> c
array([False, False, False, True], dtype=bool)
>>> b and c
array([False, False, False, True], dtype=bool)
>>> b or c
array([False, False, True, False], dtype=bool)
