From v3.4 Tutorial section 5.7

It is possible to assign the result of a comparison or other Boolean expression to a variable. For example,
>>> string1, string2, string3 = '', 'Trondheim', 'Hammer Dance'
>>> string1 or string2 or string3
'Trondheim'
>>> bool(string1 or string2 or string3)
True

In most languages a Boolean clause (comparison) returns a Boolean or it's equivalent, not the last argument evaluated.  Please add a reference to bool function (or some better? method) in this section for clarification.
