[Tutor] how to do multiple searching against many lists

[Srinivas Iyyer]

Hi Group, 

my Problem:

I have soms list for variety of animals, birds,
bacteria


I have another list:
search_list =
['cat','python','parrot','donkey','e.coli']

animals = ['cat','tiger','donkey','zebra','lemur']
birs = ['parrot','mina','oriole','blue jay']
bacteria =
['e.coli','bacillus','staphy','acetobacter']

my output should look like this:

cat '\t' animal
python '\t' animal
parrot '\t' bird
donkey '\t'animal
e.coli '\t' bacteria

Can I do this using dictionaries , so that to make it
faster?

Thanks
Srini
