I've been trying to read up on this, but I'm not sure what the simplest way to do it is.
I have a list of string. I'd like to check to see if any of the strings in that list matches another string. Pseudocode: if "two" in ["one", "two", "three", "four"]: return True Is there any built-in iteration that would do such a thing, or do I have to write a function to check for me? I was using .index on the list, but it would return True for strings that contained the search string rather than match it exactly, leading to false positives in my code. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
