Python how to find exact match of an element in a list?

Question

Python

Hello, right away - I'm not a real programmer), but it took me to fix one script here and something I'm a little stumped.
There is a sheet. All variables are strictly textual, in one word without spaces. Example
one , two, three, four, five, fivefive

there is a check in the script

if word in wordList 
  do something

and I have a problem, I need to know exactly the presence of the five variable, but if it is not there, then the script still does not work, fivefive interferes. How to check the exact occurrence of an element in a list?

Answer 1

for word in wordList:
    if word == someWord:
        do something
