Meaning either that one must write either this, and use parenthesis to avoid

I'd be inclined toward this option, especially if some of your
expressions are complex checks - the 'and' will short-circuit, a tuple
won't. It looks perfectly readable, to me. Side point: I'd be cautious
about using 'is' with strings, unless you have some way of
guaranteeing that both sides have been interned.
