You can implement it yourself:

class between(object):
	def __init__(self, a,b):
		super(crang, self).__init__()
		self.a=a
		self.b=b
	def __contains__(self, value):
		return self.a <= value <= self.b

>>> 12.45 in between(-100,100)
true


But do you need

a <  x <  b
a <= x <  b
a <= x <= b or
a <  x <= b ?

Sure, you could set a new parameter for this, but the normal way is not
broken at all.
