<p><code>eval()</code> is just for expressions, while <code>eval('x+1')</code> works, <code>eval('x=1')</code> won't work for example. In that case, it's better to use <code>exec</code>, or even better: try to find a better solution :)</p>

<p>Here's one way of doing it, assuming your "alphabets" is integers, and that the list has at least two items:</p> <pre><code>for i in xrange(1, len(a)): if a[i] != a[i - 1] + 1: print a[i - 1] + 1, "is missing" </code></pre>

<p>With sorted lists a binary search is usually the fastest alghorythm. Could you please provide an example list and an example "missing alphabet"?</p>

<p>Some questions:</p> <ul> <li>Are all the letters upper or lower case? (a/A)</li> <li>Is this the only alphabet you'll want to check?</li> <li>Why are you doing this so often?</li> </ul> <p>Least lines of code:</p> <pre><code># do this once, outside the loop alphabet=set(string.ascii_lowercase) # inside the loop, ...

<p>Using a list comprehension:</p> <pre><code>&gt;&gt;&gt; import string &gt;&gt;&gt; sourcelist = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwx' &gt;&gt;&gt; [letter for letter in string.ascii_lowercase if letter not in sourcelist] ['y', 'z'] &gt;&gt;&gt; </code></pre> <p>The <a href="http://docs.python.org/library/string.html" rel="no...

<p>if you're talking about alphabet as letters:</p> <pre><code>letterSet = set() for word in wordList: letterSet.update(set(word.lower())) import string alphabet = set(string.lowercase) missingLetters = alphabet.difference(letterSet) </code></pre>

<p>In the too clever for it's own good category, and assuming there is exactly one missing letter in a lowercase alphabet:</p> <pre><code>print chr(2847 - sum(map(ord, theString))) </code></pre> <p><strong>[Edit]</strong> I've run some timings on the various solutions to see which is faster. Mine turned out to be fai...
