The POP's question was ambiguous (did he want to match any of the
substrings, or all of the substrings), but his example code:
("a" in "adfbdfc") or ( "b" in "adfbdfc") or ("c" in "adfbdfc" )
implements the opposite sense of what you have. So perhaps he'd want:
def any_in(string, substrings):
for substring in substrings:
if substring in string:
return True:
return False
