Python: How to check a string for substrings from a list? [duplicate]

by

Try this test:

any(substring in string for substring in substring_list)

It will return True if any of the substrings in substring_list is contained in string.

Note that there is a Python analogue of Marc Gravell’s answer in the linked question:

from itertools import imap
any(imap(string.__contains__, substring_list))

In Python 3, you can use map directly instead:

any(map(string.__contains__, substring_list))

Probably the above version using a generator expression is more clear though.
