        'Days in Month': [31,28,31,30,31,30,31,31,30,31,30,31]
        }

df = pd.DataFrame(data, columns = ['Month', 'Days in Month'])

contain_values = df[df['Month'].str.contains('Ju')]
print (contain_values)

pandas check if any of the values in one column exist in another

df["exists"] = df.drop("target", 1).isin(df["target"]).any(1)
print(df)
