What is the most effective way to check if a list contains only empty values (not if a list is empty, but a list of empty elements)? I am using the famously pythonic implicit booleaness method in a for loop:
def checkEmpty(lst):
for element in lst:
if element:
return False
break
else:
return True
Anything better around?
if not any(lst):
# ...
Should work. any()
returns True
if any element of the iterable it is passed evaluates True
. Equivalent to:
def my_any(iterable):
for i in iterable:
if i:
return True
return False
len([i for i in lst if i]) == 0
