title: Opposite of any() function
body: <p>The Python built-in function <code>any(iterable)</code> can help to quickly check if any <code>bool(element)</code> is <code>True</code> in a iterable type.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&gt;&gt;&gt; l = [None, False, 0]
  &gt;&gt;&gt; any(l)
  False
  &gt;&gt;&gt; l = [None, 1, 0]
  &gt;&gt;&gt; any(l)
  True
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But is there an elegant way or function in Python that could achieve the opposite effect of <code>any(iterable)</code>? That is, if any <code>bool(element) is False</code> then return <code>True</code>, like the following example:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&gt;&gt;&gt; l = [True, False, True]
  &gt;&gt;&gt; any_false(l)
  &gt;&gt;&gt; True
  </code></pre>
