Hi there,I am trying to write something very simple to test if a list contains another one: a = [1,2,3] b = [3,2,1,4] but 'a in b' returns False. How do I check that a is indeed contained in b ?
Use sets: >>> a = [1,2,3] >>> b = [3,2,1,4] >>> set(a).issubset(set(b)) True Christian -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
