It's clear but tedious to write: if 'monday" in days_off or "tuesday" in days_off: doSomething
I currently am tending to write: if any([d for d in ['monday', 'tuesday'] if d in days_off]): doSomething Is there a better pythonic idiom for this situation? Cheers - Chas -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
