I have observed the following behavior in python 3:

>>> ([False, True] and [True, True])
[True, True]>>> ([False, True] or [True, True])
[False, True]

I was expecting exactly the opposite:

[False, True] and [True, True] = [False and True, True and True] = [False, True]
[False, True] or [True, True] = [False or True, True or True] = [True, True]

How does the observed behavior makes sense and how can I achieve the desired behavior?

Each list is being evaluated as a whole. [False, True] is True, and so is [True, True] because only an empty list is False.

and returns the last True element, but or returns the first one.
