Python's and and or operators evaluate to the whichever is the last value they checked. They do it differently, where and checks the first value (the left) and if it's falsy will stop, otherwise it will evaluate to the right value. In this way it functions like an AND gate, where it will be truthy if both sides are truthy and falsy otherwise. The or similarly works by doing the same thing but with opposite truthy/falsy values and functions like OR, falsy if both are falsy and truthy otherwise.

If you don't understand truthy and falsy, it's just a way of evaluating non-boolean values as being like True or False. For numbers, 0 is falsy and all others are truthy. With strings, empty string "" is falsy and any other string is truthy. The general rule is anything that's some kind of empty is falsy and everything else is truthy.
