You are unnecessarily adding a comparison with True. The correct way to 
write that is

if "c" in a:
   print "yes"

Bu of course you haven't actually told us what you really did, because 
the code you represent has syntax errors.

 >>> a = ["a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f"]
 >>> "c" in a
True
 >>> if "c" in a == True:
...    print "found it"
...
 >>> if ("c" in a) == True:
...     print "At last!"
...
At last!
