[New-bugs-announce] [issue17255] test_any and test_all should validate short-circuiting behaviour

[wim glenn]

New submission from wim glenn:

The docs http://docs.python.org/2/library/functions.html#all provide some equivalent code for all builtin (and similarly for any):

def all(iterable):
    for element in iterable:
        if not element:
            return False
    return True

The behaviour is clearly documented as short-circuiting, but the cases contained in test_builtin.py are lacking any test coverage for the short-circuiting behaviour.  You could implement any/all in a broken way that still passes the current tests (consuming more of a generator than you want to for example), so it is important to guarantee the short-circuiting.

My patch adds two simple test cases to make this behaviour explicit.
