Why does “not(True) in [False, True]” return False?

Question

If I do this:

>>> False in [False, True]
True

That returns True. Simply because False is in the list.

Answer 1

It is evaluating as not True in [False, True], which returns False because True is in [False, True]

If you try

>>>(not(True)) in [False, True]
True

You get the expected result.
