[Python-Dev] Adding any() and all()

[Bill Janssen]

Guido,

I think there should be a PEP.  For instance, I think I'd want them to be:

def any(S):
  for x in S:
    if x:
      return x
  return S[-1]

def all(S):
  for x in S:
    if not x:
      return x
  return S[-1]

Or perhaps these should be called "first" and "last".
