python - Check if a string contains only given characters

I'm wondering if there is more elegant way to check if the string (str = 'abcccbbaabcbca') contains only 'a','b' or 'c' than iterating over it :

for i in str:
   if i in ['a','b','c']:
      pass
   else :
      print('wrong character')

Convert both strings to sets and check if they are equal. If yes, your string contains a AND b AND c:

valid = set(your_string) == set('abc')...

Use issubset to check if it contains ANY of a, b, c:

valid = set(your_string) <= set('abc')

or

valid = set(your_string).issubset('abc')

Subtract the sets to find out invalid characters:

bad_chars = set('abcXYcba') - set('abc') # set(X,Y)
