This is not a bug, it is normal handling of `and` and `or` operators since
Python 1.5 and possibly older.
The `and` and `or` operators are *short-cut* operators. This is intentional
design, so we can write things like:
if mylist and mylist[0] == value:
New submission from Christopher Contaxis :
Python 3.8.6 will not produce an exception when comparing values in an and/or
statement that normally produces an exception standalone.
val = 0
low = 1
high = "2"
The following makes sense:
val >= low : False
val <= high : Exception, cant compare in
