Did you try to find the answer to your question in the python reference manual? The relevant page is http://docs.python.org/ref/Booleans.html To quote it: The expression 'x and y' first evaluates x; if x is false, its value is returned; otherwise, y is evaluated and the resulting value is returned. -- Paul Hankin -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
