How to improve this code?

[Oltmans]

Hello,

Is there someway I can improve the following code(pythonically)?
(Copying from IDLE)
match=[1,2,3,4,5]

def elementsPresent(aList):
        result=False
        if not aList:
                return False
        for e in aList:
                if e in match:
                        result=True
                else:
                        result = False
        return result
 elementsPresent([6,7,8,9,5]) # should return True because 5 is
present in list named match.

Is there somehow I can improve code in elementsPresent()? I'm not a
very good programmer but I sense that idea of using a variable named
'result' inside elementsPresent() doesn't sound very good. Any ideas
will be highly appreciated.

Thanks,
Oltmans
