python - How to recode line so an exact sentence must be in the list for it to match - 


x = ["cookie flavored water yummy 6", "coding complicated 16", "help 7"]  in x:     if "flavored" in x:         print ("yes")     else:         print ("no")

i want exact string "cookie flavored water yummy" in list acceptable don't want 6 part included. i'm befuddled on how accomplish this. objective might change first element different element.

you're iterating on x i check if string belongs list, not element, false.

to check if element of x contains "cookie flavored water yummy"

x = ["cookie flavored water yummy 6", "coding complicated 16", "help 7"]  in x:     print ("yes" if "cookie flavored water yummy" in else "no")

on other hand, exact string match use in without loop, loop being made on x in operator:

print ("yes" if "cookie flavored water yummy" in x else "no")

if need exact string match on great number of elements, consider putting elements in set instead because lookup time smaller (hashing involved). code remains same apart that.

elasticsearch - Is the order of operations guaranteed in a bulk update? -

i sending delete , index requests elasticsearch in bulk (the example adapted from docs ): { "delete" : { "_index" : "test", "_type" : "type1", "_id" : "1" } } { "index" : { "_index" : "test", "_type" : "type1", "_id" : "1" } } { "field1" : "value1" } the sequence above intended first delete possible document _id=1 , index new document same _id=1 . is order of actions guaranteed? in other words, example above, can sure delete not touch document index ed afterwards (because order not respected reason or another)? the delete operation useless in scenario, if index document same id, automatically , implicitly delete/replace previous document same id. so if document id=1 exists, sending below command replace (read delete , re-index it) { "index" : { "_index" : "test", ...
