I am sure you have some answer(s) already. I wanted to add a different solution
------------------------
a = [['jimmy', '25', 'pancakes'], ['tom', '23', 'brownies'], ['harry', '21',
'cookies']]
matches = [ i[1] in ('25', '26') for i in a ] ]
if not any(matches):
print "Not found"
else:
for match in matches:
if match:
print "Yes"
