Remeber the return value of find function of a string is -1 when it
fails, which is True.
Try:
for item in isp:
if item in test:
print item

Subject: Why does Python show the whole array?
Hello
I'd like to go through a list of e-mail addresses, and extract those
that belong to well-known ISP's. For some reason I can't figure out,
Python shows the whole list instead of just e-mails that match:
======= script
test = "t...@gmail.com"
isp = ["gmail.com", "yahoo.com"]
for item in isp:
if test.find(item):
print item
======= output
gmail.com
yahoo.com
=======
Any idea why I'm also getting "yahoo.com"?
Thank you.
