Yeah, this is a common error on people that is not used to these kind of
selections. You have to use the boolean binary operators (and not the
logical operators) for doing this:

>>> a[(a>2) & (a<8)]

Notice the parenthesis. They are necessary because the operator & has
more precedence than < or >.
