[New-bugs-announce] [issue11737] and is not a logical conjugation

[Iain Henderson]

New submission from Iain Henderson <the_iain at mac.com>:

The documentation here: http://docs.python.org/library/stdtypes.html
indicates that and operates as such
{if x:
    return x
else:
    return y}

to be a logical conjugation it should function as
{if x:
    if y:
        return True
return False}

The it is now (False and True) will return True.  Basic logic asserts that this is not the case.
