String contains all the elements of a list

Question

I am shifting to Python, and am still relatively new to the pythonic approach. I want to write a function that takes a string and a list and returns true if all the elements

Answer 1

If you're not worried about repeat characters, then:

def myfunc(string, seq):
    return set(seq).issubset(string)

And, untested, if you do care about repeated characters, then maybe (untested):

from collections import Counter
def myfunc(string, seq):
    c1 = Counter(string)
    c2 = Counter(seq)
    return not (c2 - c1)
