title: What do >> and << mean in Python?
body: <p>I notice that I can do things like <code>2 &lt;&lt; 5</code> to get 64 and <code>1000 &gt;&gt; 2</code> to get 250.</p>
  
  <p>Also I can use <code>&gt;&gt;</code> in <code>print</code>:</p>
  
  <pre><code>print &gt;&gt;obj, "Hello world"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What is happening here?</p>
