################################# print(any((2 < 3, 3 > 4, 4 > 5))) # one expression is true so True is printed. ################################## a = 2 < 3 # a is True b = 3 > 4 # b is False c = 4 > 5 # c is False print(any([a, b, c])) # one element is true so True is printed. ##################################

You pass an iterable to 'any' and it checks if at least one of the elements is True. What's True and what's False then will depend on the type of the element. any([0, 0, 0, 7]) -> True (7!=0) any(('', '', '')) - > False (all strings zero length) any(False for b in range(5)) -> False (all five elements are (literally) False)

You can use it nicely with a generator expression or map (together with a function that returns a boolean).
