为了提高速度，我会使用这样的函数:

def check_string(string, substring_list):
    for substring in substring_list:
        if substring in string:
            return True
    return False

data = "firstName and favoriteFood"
mandatory_fields = ['firstName', 'lastName', 'age']


# for each
for field in mandatory_fields:
    if field not in data:
        print("Error, missing req field {0}".format(field));

# still fine, multiple if statements
if ('firstName' not in data or 
    'lastName' not in data or
    'age' not in data):
    print("Error, missing a req field");

# not very readable, list comprehension
missing_fields = [x for x in mandatory_fields if x not in data]
if (len(missing_fields)>0):
    print("Error, missing fields {0}".format(", ".join(missing_fields)));

只是关于如何在String中获得所有列表元素的更多信息

a = ['a', 'b', 'c']
str = "a123" 
list(filter(lambda x:  x in str, a))

为了增加regex的多样性:

import re

if any(re.findall(r'a|b|c', str, re.IGNORECASE)):
    print 'possible matches thanks to regex'
else:
    print 'no matches'

或者如果你的列表太长- any(re.findall(r'|'.join(a)， str, re.IGNORECASE))

如果a或str中的字符串变长，您应该小心。简单的解决方案是O(S*(A^2))，其中S是str的长度，A是A中所有字符串长度的总和。要获得更快的解决方案，请查看用于字符串匹配的Aho-Corasick算法，该算法在线性时间O(S+A)内运行。

a = ['a', 'b', 'c']
str =  "a123"

a_match = [True for match in a if match in str]

if True in a_match:
  print "some of the strings found in str"
else:
  print "no strings found in str"
