The most pythonic way is the following:
class anyof(set):
def __contains__(self,item):
if isinstance(item,anyof):
for it in item:
if self.__contains__(it):
return True
else:
return False
return super(anyof,self).__contains__(item)
daysoff=anyof(['Saterday','Sunday'])
assert anyof(['monday','tuesday']) in daysoff
