Question

I am pretty sure there is a common idiom, but I couldn’t find it with Google Search…

Here is what I want to do (in Java):

// Applies the predicate to all elements of the iterable, and returns
// true if all evaluated to true, otherwise false
boolean allTrue = Iterables.all(someIterable, somePredicate);

How is this done “Pythonic” in Python?

Also would be great if I can get answer for this as well:

// Returns true if any of the elements return true for the predicate
boolean anyTrue = Iterables.any(someIterable, somePredicate);

Answer 1

Do you mean something like:

allTrue = all(somePredicate(elem) for elem in someIterable)
anyTrue = any(somePredicate(elem) for elem in someIterable)
