Mark Dickinson added the comment:
Surprisingly, this is valid syntax. Your first line is parsed as:
0xf or (python is weird in ways)
Because `or` is short-circuiting, its right-hand operand (which is also valid
syntactically, being a chained comparison) is never evaluated, so we don't see
the `NameErrors` that you might expect.
>>> python is weird in ways
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'python' is not defined
Your second example is similar. Closing as 'not a bug'.
