Others have answered some parts
>>> if x in x_list:
... print("That is a fruit.")
... else:
... print("That is not a fruit.")
...
However one can distribute the print out of the if; Thus
print ("This is a fruit" if x in x_list else "This is not a fruit")
Which can be further distributed:
print "This is %s a fruit" % ("" if x in x_list else "not")
And once you do that you may see that mostly you dont want the print at all.
>>> "This is %s a fruit" % ("" if x in x_list else "not")
