>From the Python docs:

"Formally, if a, b, c, ..., y, z are expressions and opa, opb, ...,
opy are comparison operators, then a opa b opb c ...y opy z is
equivalent to a opa b and b opb c and ... y opy z, except that each
expression is evaluated at most once.

Note that a opa b opb c doesn't imply any kind of comparison between a
and c, so that, e.g., x < y > z is perfectly legal (though perhaps not
pretty). "
