Thanks everyone for your opinions and suggestions!
I especially like the all(...) approaches of MRAB and Peter Otten,
however, the set conversion like
set(test_dct.items())<= set(base_dct.items())
True
looks elegant too.
That works only if the values in the dicts are hashable.
In both approaches I can get rid of the negated comparison and the
additional "parsing cost" (for me reading it) is not that high.
As for the name, I tried to make explicit (for this post), that both
the keys and their values are important in this test, but it doesn't
matter that much if is_subdict doesn't communicate this well
(probably?), as the "audience" of this code is not going to be anyone
but me.
