Easy way to test if each element in an numpy array lies between two values?

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?
One solution would be: import numpy as np a = np.array([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]) (a > 1) & (a < 5) # 1 < element < 5? # array([False, True, True, True, False])
