Python allows the overriding of just about every operator. For Pathlib they overrode the division operator to instead perform path addition in a platform agnostic manner.

Except the boolean operators (and, or, not). For instance __and__ overrides the binary and (&), not the boolean and.

That's True, but you _can_ override __bool__.[1]
