Well, PyScripter works find with that code. Furthermore, the
un-intellisense in IronPython was problematic, inserting the wrong things,
which I had to erase.
Also, there were some code constructs IronPython let pass that PyScripter
didn't, namely, print(), PyScripter requires the ()
Something simple, like:
n = -1
if n <> -1:
print('fell through')
falls through to the print.
So, I don't know what the problem is with IronPython, perhaps it isn't
compatible with Python v3, but on my machine, at least, it doesn't perform.

Thanks guys, I'm thinking it's a problem with IronPython. I'm switching
to PyScripter and will test tomorrow.
I'd be very surprised to find that something as basic as this was wrong
with IronPython. Complex commercial software has been built on it, so
there's little question that the platform is sound.
Are you *sure* you copied and pasted the session you listed?

s = f.readline()
if 'mystring' in s: print 'foundit'

if 'mystring' in s:

this generates output:
not found
processing
so, it doesn't find the substring, but goes into processing code
anyway.
This is using IronPython
As others have already said, this _does_ work properly.
But a minor rearrangement is simpler, and IMHO clearer:
if 'mystring' not in s:
print 'not found'
else:
print 'foundit'
print 'processing'
