Evaluation of a comparison in combination with the in operator

bvdet

I ran into something that seemed strange at first. I knew you could chain comparisons like x < y < z which evaluates to x < y and y < z. I did not realize this works in a similar manner:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 >>> x = '21'

>>> s = ['21', '22', '23']

>>> y = '21'

>>> y == '21' in s

True

# evaluates as y == '21' and '21' in s

>>> y = "20"

>>> y == "20" in s

False

# evaluates as y == '20' and '20' in s

It's not really a question, but tell me if I am understanding this incorrectly.
