How to Implement any() and all() Functions in Odoo

How to Implement any() and all() in Odoo?

Overview

Python’s built-in functions any() and all() are used for evaluating iterables (like lists or tuples) based on Boolean logic.

These are highly useful for validating multiple conditions concisely in Odoo development.

✅ Syntax

any(iterable)

all(iterable)

Each item in the iterable is evaluated as a Boolean (True or False).

Example: Basic Python

any([False, True, False]) # ➝ True

all([True, True, True]) # ➝ True

all([True, False, True]) # ➝ False

🧠 Realistic Odoo Examples

✅ any() – Check if at least one product is active

python

CopyEdit

products = self.env[‘product.template’].search([])

has_active = any(prod.active for prod in products)

if has_active:

_logger.info(“There is at least one active product.”)

✅ all() – Check if all partners have email addresses

partners = self.env[‘res.partner’].search([])

all_have_email = all(partner.email for partner in partners)

if not all_have_email:

_logger.warning(“Some partners are missing email addresses.”)
