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

if toe=='md5' or 'M' or 'm' or 'Md5' or 'MD5':

will always be evaluated to

if toe=='md5' or True or True or True or True :

What you want is:

if toe in ('md5', 'M', 'm', 'Md5', 'MD5'):
    print("Md5 Encryption Cypher")
    md5cypher()
.
