Pythonic way to check if number falls in a certain range

Question

The following code assigns a certain value to the a variable depending on the range that the v variable falls in.

if v>0 and v<1000:
    c='green'
elif v>=1000 and v<2000:
    c='yellow'
else:
    c='red'

That works well, but I was wondering if there is a more Pythonic way to write the following conditional block.

I answered but im pretty sure there is a canonical dupe around here somewhere — Joran Beasley, Nov 16 '15 at 22:28

0 < v < 1000

thats all ...

this would work for your specific use case

var_color = ['green', 'yellow', 'red'][(v >= 1000) + (v >= 2000)]

Looks good. There is no way to escape the conditional statements I assume. Correct? – multigoodverse Nov 16 '15 at 22:35
escape the conditional statements? oh I see umm theres always a way ... – Joran Beasley Nov 16 '15 at 22:37

`['green', 'yellow', 'red'][(v >= 1000) + (v >= 2000)]` – John La Rooy Nov 16 '15 at 22:45
@MuhammadYounus If you think this code is Pythonic, I encourage you to review your understanding. – jarmod May 13 '20 at 17:18
