For example:

I want to find a negative and a positive minimum.
example: negative
print(min(a)) = -30
positive
print(min(a)) = 1
If this is homework, stop reading and do it yourself ;-)
Otherwise...
>>> min(i for i in a if i >0)
1
>>> max(i for i in a if i < 0)
-10
>>> min(i for i in a if i < 0)
-30
You did not specify if you would include 0 in a pos min (0 is neither
really positive or negative).
