This is the expected behavior. >From >https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/introduction.html#first-steps-towards-programming """ In Python, like in C, any non-zero integer value is true; zero is false. The condition may also be a string or list value, in fact any sequence; anything with a non-zero length is true, empty sequences are false. """ >From >https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/datastructures.html?highlight=short%20circuit#more-on-conditions """ The Boolean operators and and or are so-called short-circuit operators: their arguments are evaluated from left to right, and evaluation stops as soon as the outcome is determined. For example, if A and C are true but B is false, A and B and C does not evaluate the expression C. When used as a general value and not as a Boolean, the return value of a short-circuit operator is the last evaluated argument.
