Cartopy-Python syntax - multiple objects/countries in one line -

i'm following example, python mapping in matplotlib cartopy color 1 country. it's working several countries, e.g. usa, france, uk, japan.

for country in countries:     if country.attributes['adm0_a3'] == 'usa':         ax.add_geometries(country.geometry, ccrs.platecarree(),                           facecolor='#008744', alpha = 0.5,                           label=country.attributes['adm0_a3']),      if country.attributes['adm0_a3'] == 'fra':         ax.add_geometries(country.geometry, ccrs.platecarree(),                           facecolor='#008744', alpha = 0.5,                           label=country.attributes['adm0_a3']), + 'gbr' + 'jpn'  else:     ax.add_geometries(country.geometry, ccrs.platecarree(),                       facecolor=('#c4e6ff'),                       label=country.attributes['adm0_a3']) 

i'd put list of countries in 1 line rather repeating statements on , over.

i tried:

if country.attributes['adm0_a3'] == ['usa', 'fra', 'gbr', 'jpn']: 

and any('usa, 'fra', 'gbr', 'jpn')

and ['usa or 'fra' or 'gbr' or'jpn']

and dict:

mydict = {'usa', 'fra', 'gbr', 'jpn'} if country.attributes['adm0_a3'] == mydict: 

obviously, i'm not getting logic quite right.

you should use in keyword, this:

for country in countries:     if country.attributes['adm0_a3'] in ['usa', 'fra', 'gbr', 'jpn']:         ax.add_geometries(country.geometry, ccrs.platecarree(),                           facecolor=(0, 0, 1),                           label=country.attributes['adm0_a3'])     else:         ax.add_geometries(country.geometry, ccrs.platecarree(),                           facecolor=('#c4e6ff'),                           label=country.attributes['adm0_a3'])
