defining a function which calls another function for a variety of strings python

Question

I have a code which finds anagrams of a string in a dictionary file. I want to create a function which tests a variety of strings called test_find_anagrams(). It should test at least 6 different strings.

This is the code i have which tests a single string in a file.

def anagram(str1,str2):
    str1 = sorted(str1)
    str2 = sorted(str2)
    return str1 == str2

def get_dictionary_word_list():
    with open('dictionarys.txt') as f:
        return f.read().split()

def find_anagrams(str):
    return [word for word in get_dictionary_word_list() if anagram(word,str)]

So far i have this code to test different strings, It works on the first string in the list but doesnt return anything for any string after. What else do i need to put in the code for it to work?

def test_find_anagrams():
    stringlist = [('aces'), ('sidebar'), ('adverb'), ('fuels'), ('hardset'), ('praised')]
    for str1 in stringlist:
        return [word for word in get_dictionary_word_list() if anagram(word,str1)]

Answer 1

It only "works on the first string in the list" because you return from inside the loop. Keep track of your result outside of the loop.

def test_find_anagrams():
    stringlist = [('aces'), ('sidebar'), ('adverb'), ('fuels'), ('hardset'), ('praised')]
    result = []
    for str1 in stringlist:
        result.extend(word for word in get_dictionary_word_list() if anagram(word,str1))
    return result
