But, you didn't write an all() function. You wrote a more specialized
allBoolean() function. I think this comparison is more fair to the
builtin all():
>>> def myAll(x):
... for a in x:
... if not a: return False
... return True
...
>>> timeit.timeit('myAll(a in (True, False) for a in x)', 'from __main__ import
>>> myAll, x', number=10)
14.510986388627998
>>> timeit.timeit('all(a in (True, False) for a in x)', 'from __main__ import
>>> x', number=10)
