I like the PEP with 'and' and 'or', but isn't the 'not' special method essentially the inverse of nonzero?

There isn't such a method currently.

Did you mean to say that there is currently no method named nonzero? This is not true:

class X: ... def nonzero(self): ... print "Called" ... return 13 ... not X() Called False
