Try this

for i in s:
    if i in d:
        print i

Using sets:

>>> set("chayote").issubset("aceihkjouty")
True

Or, equivalently:

>>> set("chayote") <= set("aceihkjouty")
True

I believe you are looking for all and a generator expression:

>>> s='chayote'
>>> d='aceihkjouty'
>>> all(x in d for x in s)
True
>>>

The code will return True if all characters in string s can be found in string d.

Also, if string s contains duplicate characters, it would be more efficient to make it a set using set:

>>> s='chayote'
>>> d='aceihkjouty'
>>> all(x in d for x in set(s))
True
>>>
