Is there a short contains function for lists?

Question

I see people are using any to gather another list to see if an item exists in a list, but is there a quick way to just do?:

if list.contains(myItem): 

# do something

Answer 1

Yes, there is a sort contains a function for lists you can use this syntax:

if myItem in list: 

# do something

Also, inverse operator:

if myItem not in list: 

# do something

It's work fine for lists, tuples, sets and dicts check keys.
