Python: if more than one of three things is true, return false

Question

I\'m writing a django model that allows my site to have coupons.

Coupons can have three types: lifetime account voucher, certain period of months voucher, certain numb

Answer 1

if (self.months && (self.dollars || self.lifetime))  || (self.dollars && (self.months || self.lifetime)) || (self.lifetime && (self.dollars || self.months))
    raise ValueError("Coupon can be valid for only one of: months, lifetime, or dollars") 

Edit:

I did a quick circuit mimization using a Karnaugh map (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karnaugh_map). It ends up this is the smallest possible function with boolean logic:

if((self.months && self.dollars) || (self.dollars && self.lifetime) || (self.lifetime && self.months))
    raise ValueError("Coupon can be valid for only one of: months, lifetime, or dollars") 

Logically both my statements are equivelant but the second one is technically faster / more efficient.

Edit #2: If anyone is interested here is the K-Map

A | B | C | f(A, B, C)
----------------------
0 | 0 | 0 |     0
----------------------
0 | 0 | 1 |     0
----------------------
0 | 1 | 0 |     0
----------------------
0 | 1 | 1 |     1
----------------------
1 | 0 | 0 |     0
----------------------
1 | 0 | 1 |     1
----------------------
1 | 1 | 0 |     1
----------------------
1 | 1 | 1 |     1

Which Reduces to:

   C\AB
     -----------------
     | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 |     
     -----------------      OR      AB + BC + AC
     | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
     -----------------
