Isn't ~ a Python operator?

My understanding is that ~ ("tilde") is the bitwise negation operator in Python. However, a longstanding Python challenge question implies that it is not. Am I missing something here?

~x returns the bitwise complement of x, i.e. the number you get by switching each 1 for a 0 and each 0 for a 1. This is the same as -x - 1.

The quiz in question asks you to check off which of a list of four items are valid Python operators. If you check off ~, you get it wrong. I have reported it as a wrong answer.
