Is there a good way to tell if a potential sublist is in another list? 
I'm doing the following:

                for index in range(len(document_tokens) - 
len(self.tokenized)):
                    if document_tokens[index:index + 
len(self.tokenized)] == \
                      self.tokenized:
                        match_found = 1

but that seems lower level than one would expect of Python.
