This can even be decoupled a bit more for dynamic creation:

>>> lst = [1,2,3,4]
>>> import operator as o
>>> conditions = [
...     (o.ge, 1),
...     (o.le, 3),
...     (o.eq, 2),
...     (o.ge, 3),
...     ]
>>> [op(v, constraint) for ((op, constraint), v) in zip(conditions,
lst)]
[True, True, False, True]
>>> all(compare(value, constraint) for ((compare, constraint),
value) in zip(conditions, lst))
False

Note that you'd also want to check len(conditions)==len(lst) for
obvious reasons. :-)
