title: How to make raw_input accept multiple answers in a simple, fast manner
body: <p>I'm working on a python project and I need it to be able to accept multiple answers. I've figured a way to do it, but it´s too lengthy. So, what I've got looks like this: </p>
  
  <pre><code>def part_one () :
      answer_one = raw_input ('&gt;&gt;&gt; ').lower()
      try: 
          if answer_one == 'apple' or answer_one == 'orange' or answer_one == 'banana' :
              chapter_one()
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It does what I want it to do (if the user writes any of those answers, s/he will advance). My problem is that I need there to be around 500 answers... So, is there any way to get my code to do the same without having to write <code>or answer_one == 'X'</code> over and over again?</p>
