For this to work out, the user's input would have to be a giant string
containing 10, 11, 12, 13, etc.

Not quite, actually.

Presuming that myrange is an integer, range(myrange) will generate a list of integers starting with 0 and continuing up to (but not including) myrange, while range(10,89) generates a list of integers starting with 10 and continuing up to (but not including) 89. These lists can never be equal, because range(10,89) will never include the integers 0-9 but range(myrange) will (unless myrange is less than 10).

Unless I mistunderstood your requirements, what you're probably looking for is:

if myrange in range(10,90):  # "in" is the key word here
    return True
else
    return False

This is, however, the correct solution. :) Presuming again, of course, that myrange is an integer -- but be aware that user input normally comes in the form of strings, so it will be necessary, at some point, to create an integer from that string using int().
