String contains all the elements of a list

Question

I am shifting to Python, and am still relatively new to the pythonic approach. I want to write a function that takes a string and a list and returns true if all the elements

Answer 1

def myfun(str,list):
   for a in list:
      if not a in str:
         return False
   return True

return true must be outside the for loop, not just after the if statement, otherwise it will return true just after the first letter has been checked. this solves your code's problem :)
