python and or statement not working

Question

if hello > 2 and < 55:
    print hello

Why doesn't this peace of code work? I know it's really basic but I cannot understand or find an answer on the internet why this isn't working, despite looking for the last 20 minutes.

This is python version 2.7.3.

That's not how boolean logic works; it is not an English sentence. — Martijn Pieters, Jun 04 '14 at 20:22

It should be (well one way of doing it):

hello = 3
if 2 < hello < 55:
    print hello

Protip: This is a nice feature in Python, but this does not work in many other languages, this is like the #1 reposted question for new C++ programmers! (@anon you are perfectly correct btw, just thought in case someone saw this in the future I should forewarn them). – Cory Kramer Jun 04 '14 at 20:25
