I know its a very common question at first, but I haven't found one that specific. (If you do, please tell me.) And all ways I found didnt work for me.
I need to check if all elements of list 1 appears in the same amount in the list2.



Ex :



#If list1 = [2,2,2,6]    
# and list2 =[2,6,2,5,2,4]
#then all list1 are in list2.
#If list2 = [2,6] then all list1 are not in list2.


i'm trying this way :



list1 = [6,2]

import itertools

for i in itertools.product((2,4,5,1), repeat=3) :
asd = i[0] + i[1]
asd2= i[1] + i[2]

list2 = [asd, asd2]
if all(elem in list2 for elem in list1):
print (i,list2)


It works when the elements are not repeated in the list1, like [1,2]. But when they are repeated, all repeated elements is beeing counted as only 1 : [2,2,2] its beeing understanded as [2]. Or so i think.

Use collections.Counter to convert to a dict_items view Set of (value, count) pairs. Then you can use normal set operations.



from collections import Counter

def a_all_in_b(a, b):
"""True only if all elements of `a` are in `b` in the *same quantity* (in any order)."""
return Counter(a).items() <= Counter(b).items()


Note that Counter only works on hashable elements because it's a subclass of dict.

Modify this answer to Checking if list is a sublist to check for equality of occurences:



from collections import Counter 

list1 = [2,2,2,6]
list2 =[2,6,2,5,2,4]

def same_amount(a,b):
c1 = Counter(a)
c2 = Counter(b)

for key,value in c1.items():
if c2[key] != value:
return False
return True


print(same_amount(list1,list2))
print(same_amount(list1 + [2],list2))


Output:



True
False


There is almost no transfere-knowledge needed to create this answer, thats why I suggested it as dupe. This question is simply a more specific case of what Checking if list is a sublist discussed.
