If you're trying to make a faster loop, then I suggest you look into set
differences. Turn both lists into sets, and subtract them. Something
like (untested):
result = not bool( set(lst1) - set(lst2) )
This does not return False as soon as an item in set1 is found that is
not in set2.
set(lst1) < set(lst2)
will, and directly return False/True. The OP is trying to compute the
lst1 < lst2, where lst1 and lst2 are interpreted as sets, rather than as
sequences with the lexicographic ordering default.
