Always true when testing if string == various OR'ed alternatives

Question

So the problem I am currently having is that my program always calls the \'md5cypher\' class which I have defined, even if the input is not in that list:

def         


        

Answer 1

In reality you're checking:

if (toe=='md5') or 'M' or 'm' or....

And since bool('M') is True, you will always succeed that check. Try this instead:

if toe.lower() in ('md5', 'm'):
