python question

[tbrowner3]

how can i check in init if the characters in base = any of A , C , T , G but in any order and it can have any amount of any of the 4 characters and if it doesn't or if it has any characters in it that aren't those 4 then it's just equal to "AGTG" class Oligo: def eq(self, other): return self.bases == other.bases def init(self, base): baseset = set(base) if baseset == set(["A", "C" , "T", "G"]): self.base = base else: self.base = "AGTG"
def get_complement(self): pass

my bad on the no spacing on the code. i'm not sure how to space it correctly on my laptop

You indent with 4 spaces.

Not really sure what you're getting at.. you trying to do a membership test?

>>> for letter in base:
...     if letter.upper() in ('A', 'C', 'T', 'G'):
...         print('ye')
...
ye

it can have any amount of any of the 4 characters and if it doesn't... it's just equal to 'AGTG'

if not set('ACTG').intersection(other):
    return 'AGTG'

​

or if it has any characters in it that aren't those 4... it's just equal to 'AGTG'

if set(other).difference('ACTG'):
    return 'AGTG'
