Currently, and and or evaluate both operands, even if doing so is not necessary to calculate the result:
>>> True or 1/0
...
integer division or modulo by zero
It would be preferable for the operator to skip its second operand if the result can be calculated from the first operand. In the above example, the result would be True.
