Check a given range of values is present in another range values in Python

Question

I have 2 ranges,

range1=range(80, 90)

range2=range(0,360).

I need to check if range1 is present in range2. Can we compare 2 ranges in Python??

More Info--These ranges are being used to check ports .i.e range2 contains authorized(fixed and pre-define) ports and range1 is changing at run time

you can simply do if minR1 > minR2 and maxR1< maxR2 right? — Eli Harold

You can convert those 2 lists in sets and then check if the first is contained in the other like this:

set1 = set(range(80, 90))
set2 = set(range(0, 360))
is_subset = set1.issubset(set2)
print(is_subset)
