Python programming

[Noah Hall]

The most Pythonic ways of checking if a value is within a list is to use the
"in" keyword, for example, using your data -
5 in [2, 6, 5]
Which will return True, as 5 is in the list. You can then use this in the
following generic way -
if variable in list:

do_things

Where variable is the varible you wish to seek, and the list is the list you
wish to search.

Might I also suggest that you use the *tutor*@*python*.org mailing list,
where people are perhaps more ready to handle this sort of question.
