You know, it costs nothing to open up a python interpreter and check
your certainty:

>>> x = 10
>>> 1 < x < 20
True

This is a _very_ common pattern.

>>> class X(object):
...   def __lt__(self, other):
...     print 'in lt'
...     return True
...   def __gt__(self, other):
...     print 'in gt'
...     return True
...
>>> x = X()
>>> 1 < x < 20
in gt
in lt
True
>>> 20 < x < 1
in gt
in lt
True
