ast.Or

operators

The or operator in the op field of a BoolOp; the operands are listed in values.

Syntax

ast.Or()

A chain a or b or c is one BoolOp(Or) with three values, not nested pairs as with BinOp. Mixing and and or nests by precedence: a or b and c is an Or whose second value is a BoolOp(And). Or never appears in BinOp; the bitwise | is BitOr.

Examples

import ast
n = ast.parse('a or b or c', mode='eval').body
print(type(n).__name__, type(n.op).__name__, len(n.values))  # → BoolOp Or 3
m = ast.parse('a or b and c', mode='eval').body
print(type(m.values[1].op).__name__)  # → And
