Why not use a fricking class framework:

    class Endpoint:
        def __init__(self, value):
            self.value = value

    class IncludedEndpoint(Endpoint):
        def above(self, x):
            return x > self.value

        def below(self, x):
            return x < self.value

    class ExcludedEndpoint(Endpoint):
        def above(self, x):
            return x >= self.value

        def below(self, x):
            return x <= self.value

    class Range:
        def __init__(self, lower_bound, upper_bound):
            self.lower_bound = lower_bound
            self.upper_bound = upper_bound

        def outside(self, x):
            return self.lower_bound.below(x) or self.upper_bound.above(x)

        def inside(self, x):
            return not self.outside(x)

Then, we could simply have:

    if Range(IncludedEndpoint(0), IncludedEndpoint(10)).outside(x):
        print("x has wrong value")
    else:
        print("x has good value")

Just for the sake of readability, I mean...
