I suspect that many other people will trip over the lack of && in the same way that I have, and will similarly consider it an irritant that we work around because we have to, not because it is good.

I agree with this.

In addition, turning to & when && is wanted will likely cause occasional stumbles over operator precedence. (At least I've been bitten that way.)

But I do not see this changing unless Python grants the ability to define new operators, in which case I'm sure the wish lists will come out ...
