Putting a few of peoples ideas together...


gt = lambda x: lambda y: x>y
eq = lambda x: lambda y: x==y

def constrain(c,d):
    return all({f(x) for f, x in zip(c, d)})

constraints = [gt(2), eq(1)]
data0 = [1,1]
data1 = [3,1]
   
print constrain(constraints, data0)
print constrain(constraints, data1)
