unexpected parsing of addition/comparison expression

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Using a logic filter,

$ for i in 1 2 3 4 5; do echo "$i $i"; done | pyp "(int(w[0])+int(w[1]))>5"
3 3
4 4
5 5

works as expected: it shows only lines whose columns sum to greater than 5. 
Likewise with "(int(w[0])+int(w[1])>5)". However, removing the outer 
parentheses produces an unexpected result:

$ for i in 1 2 3 4 5; do echo "$i $i"; done | pyp "int(w[0])+int(w[1])>4"
1
2
3
4
55 5

This is equivalent to the output with "int(w[0])+(int(w[1])>4)": I think it is 
treating int(w[1])>4 as a logic filter and concatenating its result with the 
value of int(w[0]). In any case, if this is the intended behavior, it should 
probably be documented because it differs from Python's operator precedence 
rules.

impressive filtering! This is one of the few changes that is different from 
normal python and is documented under Math Operations here:

I guess it would be clearer if mentioned under "Logic Filters" as well, since 
it applies not just to arithmetic but to seemingly any complex numeric 
expression: e.g. the filters "int(w[0]) in {1,2,3}" and "len(w[0]) in {1,2,3}" 
don't work without enclosing parentheses.

that's a good point. I'll put a reference there on the next revision.

I've updated the wiki with a note about this type of function.
