Searching in lists in a list python3
Hey, I have lists in a list for example: List = [[âa,âbâ],[âfed,âFrâ]] and I like to check whether âfedâ is in any of those list. Furthermore iâd like to do this in one line. My solution so far: if True in ([âfedâ in i for i in List]) Any better solutions?

I would do this:
if any('fed' in sublist for sublist in List):
...

clemens, 'return' can only be used from within functions.

[Updated] You. an also use 2 for loops for that:
lst = [["a","b"],["fed","Fr"]]
for i in lst:
for j in i:
if "fed" in j:
res = True if "fed" in j else False
print(res)

Code is updated to show True or False.

[return True if 'fed' in x for i,x in enumerate([['a','b'], [ 'fed','fr']])]
