Match a string to a word in list

Question

I have a list of suffixes and I want to check if my word ends with any of those and if it does I want to print it, I am doing the following:

if(string.endswith(any(word in my_list))):
        print string
        print" "
        print word

my_list is the list of suffixes. When I run it, it gives me error saying name 'word' is not defined

Answer 1

any returns a boolean value. str.endswith expects either a string or a tuple of strings.

You probably want something like:

if s.endswith(tuple(my_list)):
   print string

or if you actually want to know which one it matched:

suffix = next((word for word in my_list if s.endswith(word)),False)
if suffix:
    print word, suffix
