why is this pytest of simple boolean logic failing?

I don't understand why my pytest of the following function is not passing:

solutions/_and.py

def _and(a, b):
    if a:
        return b
    return False

test_and.py

_and_path='./solutions/'
import itertools
import sys
sys.path.append(_and_path)
print(sys.path)
import _and


def test_and():
    for i, j in itertools.product([True, False], [True, False]):
        assert(_and._and(i, j) == i and j)

The failure report:

I'm new to Pytest, but it seems to me that my version of and is returning False when (True, False) are its parameters, but i and j from the test is returning True with those same parameters. Am I missing something?
