Python cerberus – choices of strings

Question

How can I validate a schema for a list of string choices?

Say I want the following animal strings to be valid:

['dog', 'cat', 'lion']

What would the schema look like for checking whether the key of animal contains any of these?

I can't quite figure out how to use the anyOf rule in this context.

Thanks!

How about using regex?

schema = {'foo': {'regex': r'(ham|spam)'}} 
document = {'foo': 'ham'}
v = Validator(schema) 
v.validate(document)  # returns True
