If it is any consolation, the any() can already be expressed somewhat cleanly and efficiently in Py2.4 with genexps: True in (x >= 42 for x in data) The translation for all() is a little less elegant: False not in (x >= 42 for x in data) Raymond Hettinger -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
