You can use in operator : 


index in dictionary variable

Again checking index in the dictionary in Python
example code : 

a={"d":'a',"l":'c'}
if("test" in a):
	print("exists")
else:
	print("does not exists")

it will print does not exists becuase given index is not in given dictionary

Again checking index in the dictionary in Python 

a={"d":'a',"l":'c'}
if("d" in a):
	print("exists")
else:
	print("does not exists")

it will print exits

not in operator used to check if key not in exists in a given dictionary or not 


c=dict([('foo', 100), ('bar', 200)])
if("foo" not in c):
	print("not exists")
else:
	print("exists")


not in is opposite of the in operator
