title: Multiple conditions from single column in dataframe, pandas
body: <p>I am trying to select a subset from a single dataframe column, and I need help applying two conditions on a single column. For example, how do I select for both "Tom" and "Chris" in the table below?</p>
  
  <pre><code>import pandas as pd
  dic={"Name":["Chris","Tom","Steven"], "Age":[12,34,55]}
  dic={"Name":["Chris","Tom","Steven"], "Age":[12,34,55]}
  df=pd.DataFrame(dic)
  df[df["Name"]=="Tom"]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Why is it that when I use
        <code>df[df["Name"]==("Chris" or "Tom")]</code>
  it picks "Chris, but when or is replaced by and, "Tom" is selected?</p>
