Python also doesn't have a built-in clamp function (I think there might be one in numpy), I usually use

    sorted((floor, x, ceiling))[1]
Throw it in a function with some asserts if you're worried about x not being a number and giving you weird results.

There is indeed one in numpy : https://numpy.org/doc/stable/reference/generated/numpy.clip....

You could use statistics.median (in python 3.6+)
