any in python doesn't print content

Question

I am playing with any, and found this:

def f():
    print(1)
    return True


def g():
    print(2)
    return False


if any(lambda x: x() for x in [g, f, f]):
    print(3)

I guess I would get

2
3

or

2
1
3

but only get

3

I don't know why.

Answer 1

The lambda is never actually called, so it itself is evaluated, and function objects are apparently truthy.

>>> bool(lambda: False)
True
>>> bool(max)
True
>>> bool(f)
True

Simply remove the lambda part:

if any(x() for x in [g, f, f]):
    print(3)

Output:

2
1
3
