1`or` in Python is a boolean operator, not a conjunction; it does far less than the English conjunction `or`, and it doesn't do what you're trying to do there. – user2357112 Aug 18 '17 at 06:48

(Short circuiting isn't relevant at all here.) – user2357112 Aug 18 '17 at 06:48

The same property that allows short circuiting (`(True or x) == True`) leads to a slightly odd but useful behaviour: `or` returning one of its operands, not necessarily a bool. In this case it led to some confusion, as producing a bool wouldn't have led to any characters matching. Very few languages to multimatching in the way shown; I think Prolog might. In the example a regex `[IJ]` might have been more fitting. – Yann Vernier Aug 18 '17 at 07:05
