http://docs.python.org/lib/comparisons.html
"Comparisons can be chained arbitrarily; for example, x < y <= z is
equivalent to x < y and y <= z, except that y is evaluated only once
[ ... ]
Two more operations with the same syntactic priority, "in" and "not
in", are supported only by sequence types"
So:
't' in sample == True
is equivalent to:
't' in sample and sample == True
and obviously:
>>> sample == True
False
