Check if a dictionary exists in list

Question

I have a list which contains some dicts:

dict1 = {
'key1': 'value1',
'key2': 'value2',
}

dict2 = {
'key1': 'value3',
'key2': 'value4',
}

list = [dict1, dict2]

I am using this to check if dict exists in list or not, for example I changed dict1 to this

dict1 = {
'key1': 'something',
'key2': 'value2',
}

Now, checking for dict1

if dict1 in list:
    print('Exists')
else:
    print('Not exists')

It must return 'Not exists', but it did not.

Answer 1

Note list is a built-in function, use different name, such as my_list

It returns False as shown below:

>>> dict1
{'key2': 'value2', 'key1': 'value1'}
>>> my_list = [dict1, dict2]
>>> dict1 in my_list
True
>>> dict1 = {
... 'key1': 'something',
... 'key2': 'value2',
... }
>>> dict1 in my_list
False
