title: Using in range(..) in an if-else statment
body: <p>python 2.7</p>
  
  <p>Is it possible to do this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>print "Enter a number between 1 and 10:"
  number = raw_input("&gt; ")
  
  if number in range(1, 5):
      print "You entered a number in the range of 1 to 5"
  elif number in range(6, 10):
      print "You entered a number in the range of 6 to 10"
  else:
      print "Your number wasn't in the correct range"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I find if I put a number between 1 to 10 it always falls to the else statement.</p>
  
  <p>Is this an incorrect use of in range in an if-else statement?</p>
  
  <p>Many thanks in advance,</p>
