My code runs as I expect in my python shell but the code checker complains of wrong result

Question

here is my code from the shell. Am I misunderstanding the question?
def covers(which):
...     out = []
...     for course, subjects in COURSES.items():
...         if which <= subjects:
...             out.append(course)
...     return out
...     
... 
covers({'Python'})
['Python Basics']
Thanks!

```sets.py
COURSES = {
    "Python Basics": {"Python", "functions", "variables",
                      "booleans", "integers", "floats",
                      "arrays", "strings", "exceptions",
                      "conditions", "input", "loops"},
    "Java Basics": {"Java", "strings", "variables",
                    "input", "exceptions", "integers",
                    "booleans", "loops"},
    "PHP Basics": {"PHP", "variables", "conditions",
                   "integers", "floats", "strings",
                   "booleans", "HTML"},
    "Ruby Basics": {"Ruby", "strings", "floats",
                    "integers", "conditions",
                    "functions", "input"}
}
def covers(which):
    out = []
    for course, subjects in COURSES.items():
        if which <= subjects:
            out.append(course)
    return out
```

I believe your code is not allowing for the "overlap" requirement
If you submitted search was for {"floats","HTML"} then your code only return ['PHP Basics'] 
, however the overlap requirement of the challenge would expect  ['Python Basics', 'PHP Basics', 'Ruby Basics'] to be the result.
