Q:

How to know if a part of my string is in another one

As part of my project, I want to ask the user to enter an order from existing orders in a list. 
So this is the problem: If my user writes the order in the input not exactly as its written in the list, how will my program understand it?
In other words, I want to turn this into Python code: 
if (part of) string in order_list:

How can I do this?
order = input()
orders_list = ["initiate", "eat", "run", "set coords to"]

#Here is the problem
if order in orders_list:
    #my output

For example, lets say I entered "eating" instead of "eat". How will my code
understand that I meant "eat"?

A:

>>> from difflib import get_close_matches
>>> orders_list = ["initiate", "eat", "run", "set coords to"]
>>> get_close_matches('eating', orders_list)
['eat']
