Question

I want to check if a word is in a list of words.

word = \"with\"
word_list = [\"without\", \"bla\", \"foo\", \"bar\"]

I tried if word

Answer 1

You could also create a single search string by concatenating all of the words in word_list into a single string:

word = "with" 
word_list = ' '.join(["without", "bla", "foo", "bar"])

Then a simple in test will do the job:

return word in word_list
