--------------------------
The operators :keyword:`in` and :keyword:`not in` test for membership. ``x in

``x not in s`` returns the negation of ``x in s``. All built-in sequences and

et types support this as well as dictionary, for which :keyword:`in` tests
whether the dictionary has a given key. For container types such as list, tuple

to ``any(x is e or x == e for e in y)``.

For the string and bytes types, ``x in y`` is
``True``
if and only if *x* is a
substring of *y*. An equivalent test is ``y.find(x) != -1``. Empty strings are
always considered to be a substring of any other string, so ``"" in "abc"`` will
return ``True``.
For user-defined classes which define the :meth:`__contains__` method, ``x in
y`` is true if and only if ``y.__contains__(x)`` is true.
y`` returns ``True`` if ``y.__contains__(x)`` returns a true value, and
``False`` otherwise.
For user-defined classes which do not define :meth:`__contains__` but do define
:meth:`__iter__`, ``x in y`` is
true
if some value ``z`` with ``x == z`` is
:meth:`__iter__`, ``x in y`` is
``True``
if some value ``z`` with ``x == z`` is
produced while iterating over ``y``. If an exception is raised during the
iteration, it is as if :keyword:`in` raised that exception.
Lastly, the old-style iteration protocol is tried: if a class defines
:meth:`__getitem__`, ``x in y`` is
true
if and only if there is a non-negative
:meth:`__getitem__`, ``x in y`` is
``True``
if and only if there is a non-negative
integer index *i* such that ``x == y[i]``, and all lower integer indices do not
raise :exc:`IndexError` exception. (If any other exception is raised, it is as
if :keyword:`in` raised that exception).
