Thanks for pointing that out ( the "!" is a misstyped "|"), my classes of discrete math have warped my mind with a mix of various non-C-style operators notation, I never use bitwise operation and this is just a bad day for thinking about things.. However I figured out one thing, Python's logic notation is readable and complete but not compact. (which is fine for programming, and that's the aim, isn't it?)
