I thought this sounded rather fishy, along the following lines: row is a list, so slicing it returns a list, so 'in' should compare the list elements (i.e. the strings contained therein) with '0'; this seems perfectly normal. I have checked, and thankfully the world is not upside down. It would only work the way you describe if row was a string, or if 'in' called itself recursively when it found a list.
