  • \$\begingroup\$ Instead of using global f in h(z), use def h(z,f) and pass the global f in when calling it. In fact, you don't need h(z) at all - just put the body where you call it. You don't need r=2, and you can just do print(r) without the if, since you need to output a falsey value for false queries. You can rename syn to z and shave off several bytes there. I don't think you need the [] around your list comprehension in the first any. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Oct 18, 2015 at 23:37
  • \$\begingroup\$ You also use e once, so you can do away with the definition and just use [a,b,c,d]. Instead of if s(i,g) is not None, do if s(i,g) - re.Match objects are always evaluated to True if a match is found. You can also drop 2 bytes with f[x]+=f[y]. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Oct 18, 2015 at 23:42
