haven't figured out a strategy for trying to address that yet, and
ultimately, I may not find one. That's okay: perfection isn't my goal,
infinite loops are easy enough to do on accident that halting them is
important.

What is the actual problem? You quoted the docs, it seems very clear.
(0 or None) would return None.
(None or 0) would return 0.
None is not equal to 0, of course.

Your problem is here.
self.topics is a list of topic instances: but you're calling str() on the
list itself to turn the LIST itself into a string. Compare:
>>> x = [1,2,3]
>>> x
[1, 2, 3]
>>> str(x)
'[1, 2, 3]'

Almost this exact same question came up not so long ago, which is
t somewhere). The latter is -- a class? A function? No idea, as
you haven't shown us. Nor shown any errors or any tracebacks or
*anything* to indicate what is possibly going on, let alone what is
going wrong when you, I presume, attempt to "call .. something .. from
the calling script". (?
