If you are not interested in the position of the substr use the "in"

if substr in s:

else:

Another "missing feature" candidate: sublist

   >>> 'bc' in 'abcde'
   True
   >>> list('bc') in list('abcde')
   False


A little Googling indicates that Haskell *does* have this feature: [1]


   ghci> [2,6] `isInfixOf` [3,1,4,1,5,9,2,6,5,3,5,8,9,7,9]
   True

I haven't located an equivalent Python idiom, though. I took a quick look through numpy, but no luck. Can anyone help?
