Variable in range of float

[dogginky]

Noob here just a few weeks in, So after all the reading and videos I decided it was time to do more writing.
I got side tracked and somehow ended up trying to take a variable and turn it into a float that I could check to see if it was between two floats values.
I seen where someone used pylab frange for something and got it to work right I think. Keep in mind I m very new. How do I clean this up or make a function,
Where do I go from here or put it to use....

import pylab as pl

# range scale to determine outcome of a weighted purchase
avg_screwed = pl.frange(0.00,6.0,0.1)
avg_below = pl.frange(6.0,7.0,0.1)
avg_weight = pl.frange(7.0,7.50,0.1)
avg_above = pl.frange(7.50,8.0,0.1)
avg_extreme = pl.frange(8.0,99.0,0.1)

#get users purchase weight input
user_weight = float(input('What was the weight: '))
#possible outcomes to inform the user of there purchase worth
if user_weight in avg_weight:
   print("You money was well spent.")
elif user_weight in avg_above:
   print('Nice, You did really well!')
elif user_weight in avg_extreme:
   print("WOW! Someone liked you.")
elif user_weight in avg_below:
   print('You have been shorted.')
elif user_weight in avg_screwed:
   print('Turn around and bend over!!!!!!')
else:
   print('I do not understand.')

thank you, I see I have a lot of code to study now, I remember some of what you wrote from other lessons.
Could I have had the if run a  function(assuming I had made one called play_music,,, instead of printing to the screen.
Or if I wanted to have a different calculation for each input depending on the range it was in. I would just make functions for each if ?
example below...Sry if does not make since. Ill give my self 24 to digest what you wrote

           elif user_weight in self.avg_weight:
               play_music()

Sure, but play_music would have to have name of mp3 or whatever format you were using,
plus you would need to load a music package which is easy.
Find what interest you here: https://pypi.python.org/pypi?%3Aaction=s...mit=search
and install the package you choose with:

pip install packagename

code would look somoething like:

    def play_music(self):
