Check slice with 'in'

Question

A slice of a list can be verified with 'in'?
In other words;

list_a = [1,2,3,4,5,6]
[1,2,3] in list_a
False

But in this way behavior changes,

list_a = [[1,2,3],2,3,4,5,6]
[1,2,3] in list_a
True

Is there any way to do first check correctly?

Answer 1

in the second example you gave you aren't looking for a slice. the whole [1,2,3] is recognized as a unique element. i think you should iterate among all elements of the second list and check them individually against the first one. you can do this with a for loop for each element in the list. if any element is not found the loop is broken and the function returns false.
