hi list, what is the best way to check if a given list (lets call it l1) is totally contained in a second list (l2)?
for example: l1 = [1,2], l2 = [1,2,3,4,5] -> l1 is contained in l2 l1 = [1,2,2,], l2 = [1,2,3,4,5] -> l1 is not contained in l2 l1 = [1,2,3], l2 = [1,3,5,7] -> l1 is not contained in l2 my problem is the second example, which makes it impossible to work with sets insteads of lists. But something like set.issubset for lists would be nice. greatz Johannes -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
