You meant to write:
def doesNotHave(exclude, root):
for x in exclude:
if root.find(x) > -1:
return False
return True
This can be written as
def doesNotHave(exclude, root):
for x in exclude:
if x in root:
return False
return True
or
def doesNotHave(exclude, root):
return not any(x in root for x in exclude)
