You meant to write:

def doesNotHave(exclude, root):
     for x in exclude:
         if root.find(x) > -1:
             return False
     return True

This can be written as
def doesNotHave(exclude, root):
     for x in exclude:
         if x in root:
             return False
     return True

or

def doesNotHave(exclude, root):
     return not any(x in root for x in exclude)
