Evaluation of Truth Curiosity

Hello All,

I'm curious, in

py> 0 | (1 == 1)
1
py> False | (1 == 1)
True

What is the logic of the former expression not evaluating to True (or 
why the latter not 1?)? Is there some logic that necessitates the first 
operand's dictating the result of the evaluation? Or is this an artefact 
of the CPython implementation?

James
