Pythonic way of setting limits based on list length

Question

I want to limit the height of a tkinter widget based on a length of a list. For this, i want to set 5 as a lower and 10 as an upper limit. The height should be 10 if my list exceeds 10 elements, 5 when there are equal or less than 5 elements, and the exact amount of elements if the list is in that range. I am wondering if there is a more pythonic way than this:

if 5 <= len(self.content) <= 10:
    lb_height = len(self.content)
elif len(self.content) <= 5:
    lb_height = 5
else:
    lb_height = 10

Something like `min(max(len(self.content), 5), 10)` – juanpa.arrivillaga Sep 30 '21 at 17:20 — juanpa.arrivillaga, Sep 30 '21 at 17:20

This answer does something similar: https://stackoverflow.com/a/4092550/11652155

For your case, you'd just change the lower and upper limits:

lb_height = max(5, min(len(self.content), 10))
