I was wondering if there was a syntactically simple way of checking if each element in a numpy array lies between two numbers.

In other words, just as numpy.array([1,2,3,4,5]) < 5 will return array([True, True, True, True, False]), I was wondering if it was possible to do something akin to this:

1 < numpy.array([1,2,3,4,5]) < 5

... to obtain ...

array([False, True, True, True, False])

I understand that I can obtain this through logical chaining of boolean tests, but I'm working through some rather complex code and I was looking for a syntactically clean solution.

Any tips?
