I would not call this is_subdict. That name does not clearly express that all keys need to have the same value. set(subdict.items()) <= set(reference.items()) should be equivalent to your code if you only want to check for presence of all keys in the reference dict: set(subdict.keys()) <= set(reference.keys()) -- Wolfgang -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
