Does Python have a string 'contains' substring method?

tl;dr

You can use the in operator to check if a string contains a substring. To do this, you can use the following syntax:

if "substring" in somestring:

This will return True if the substring is found in the string, and False if it is not. For example, if you wanted to check if the string somestring contains the substring example, you would write:

if "example" in somestring:

If the substring is not found, you can use the continue statement to move on to the next iteration of the loop. For example:

if "example" not in somestring: 
    continue
