why "ok" or "not ok" output "ok"  , "ok" and "not ok"  output "not ok" ?




You are probably confusing yourself with the string "not ok". That string, and any other non-empty string is considered true
>>> bool("not ok")
True
>>> bool("ok")
True

perhaps you meant
>>> not "ok"
False



Once past that possible confusion, the return value of the *and* and *or* operators are explained here:
