if statement in HTML with Python

Question

I have to use an 'or' in Python and HTML.

 <div>
     {% if imp[3][0] == 'abc' || imp[3][0] == 'def' %}
         <p>yes</p>
     {% endif %}
 </div>

I get an error:

jinja2.exceptions.TemplateSyntaxError: expected token 'name', got '|'

However, && for and works. Any way?

You should be using the keyword or not the Boolean operator ||

<div>
     {% if imp[3][0] == 'abc' or imp[3][0] == 'def' %}
         <p>yes</p>
     {% endif %}
</div>

Of course using in would be better here:

<div>
     {% if imp[3][0] in ('abc', 'def') %}
         <p>yes</p>
     {% endif %}
</div>
