How to use all/any with if?

Question

Python

The essence of the question is in the title. For example, I need to compare a given element with each element of a given list, and if it is equal to at least one of the list, perform some action. You can use if x in ['fd', 'tf', 33] but is it possible to use any() somehow here?

Answer 1

if any(x==item for item in ['fd', 'tf', 33]):
But this only makes sense if the comparison is not trivial, and just in won't work.
