complex if statement in python

Question

I need to realize a complex if-elif-else statement in Python but I don\'t get it working.

The elif line I need has to check a variable for this conditions:

Answer 1

This should do it:

elif var == 80 or var == 443 or 1024 <= var <= 65535:

Answer 2

It's often easier to think in the positive sense, and wrap it in a not:

elif not (var1 == 80 or var1 == 443 or (1024 <= var1 <= 65535)):
  # fail

You could of course also go all out and be a bit more object-oriented:

class PortValidator(object):
  @staticmethod
  def port_allowed(p):
    if p == 80: return True
    if p == 443: return True
    if 1024 <= p <= 65535: return True
    return False


# ...
elif not PortValidator.port_allowed(var1):
  # fail
