Hmm, using bitwise operations on booleans is somewhat unusual in Python
I think, especially if here the short-circuiting of "or" wouldn't be a
problem. But it doesn't degrade to integers so I guess it's well-defined.

Right, I thought the automatic conversions to booleans are sometimes
considered in poor taste in Python, but wasn't aware that bitwise ops
may be frowned upon. IIUC the alternative would be:

FWIW I checked with a proper Pythonist in the meantime, and it's not
just me :)

Also, it's not bitwise ops per se. When doing bit twiddling on integrals
it would be totally legit. It's the part where we are dealing with
booleans that makes it unfashionable.

	if frame.function == 'ksft_run':
		started = True

or

	started = started or frame.function == 'ksft_run'

I'd prefer the former.
