How to check for a sublist in a list of lists?

Question

Let's say I have this code:

lst1 = [['1','g','8','c','p'],['lion','tiger','bear','oh','my'],['true','false','maybe','g','8']]
lst2 = ['g','8']

How would I check if lst2 is in lst1?

Answer 1

If I understood the question correctly you can just use set and any :

any(set(lst2) <= set(x) for x in lst1)

where set(lst2) <= set(x) checks if lst2 is sublist of x .
