Another "missing feature" candidate: sublist

    >>> 'bc' in 'abcde'
    True
    >>> list('bc') in list('abcde')
    False


A little Googling indicates that Haskell *does* have this feature: [1]


    ghci> [2,6] `isInfixOf` [3,1,4,1,5,9,2,6,5,3,5,8,9,7,9]
    True

I haven't located an equivalent Python idiom, though. I took a quick 
look through numpy, but no luck. Can anyone help?

Tx,
