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
