Python 3.8.6 will not produce an exception when comparing values in an and/or statement that normally produces an exception standalone.

val = 0
low = 1
high = "2"

The following makes sense:

val >= low : False
val <= high : Exception, cant compare int and str
val <= high and val >= low : Exception, cant compare int and str

The following doesn't make sense (doesn't produce an exception):

val >= low and val <= high : False

This is not a bug, it is normal handling of `and` and `or` operators since Python 1.5 and possibly older.

The `and` and `or` operators are *short-cut* operators. This is intentional design, so we can write things like:

    if mylist and mylist[0] == value:

the `mylist[0] == value` expression is only evaluated if `mylist` is a truthy value.

This is all documented here:
