In Python, is it possible to test a variable against multiple values, i.e. a shorter way of writing:
if (x=="a") or (x=="b") or (x=="c") ...
like maybe: if x=="a" or "b" or "c":?

Probably [How do I test one variable against multiple values?](http://stackoverflow.com/q/15112125/1399279) is a better duplicate... – SethMMorton Sep 27 '14 at 05:52

I have seen that question, and it is slightly different. It is asking if one of a set of variables is equal to a given value, not whether a single variable is equal one of a set of values, which is my query. – Tchaikovsky Sep 27 '14 at 18:53
