[Tutor] selecting elements from a list that do not meet selection criteria

[ted b]

Is there a way i can select all elements from a list
that do not meet selection criteria. I want to be able
to select elements that have values of, say, < 1 but
only if at least one of the elements has a value of >
0.

What i mean is, for example, in the code below, if one
of the elements of "list 'a'" has a value greater than
1, then i want to print all the other elements in the
list (i.e., class One and class Three) and to do
otherStuff associated with those classes. Right now,
it prints those elements that *do* have values of > 0,
(i.e. class Two). But in situations where all of the
classes have values set to 0, then i don't want
anything selected. 

I don't want to just use something like "if x.value()
!= 0" or "if x.value() < 1" since those would give
results if all elements were less than 1, and i only
want to select elements of the list that are less than
1 if at least one of the elements is > 1.

Here's the sample code:

class One:
   def value(self):
      return 0
      
class Two:
   def value(self):
      return 1

class Three:
   def value(self):
      return 0

a = [One(), Two(), Three()]

for x in a:
   if x.value() > 0:
      print x
      x.otherStuff()

Thanks in advance!!! :)))
