Can this be written more concisely in a functional style

[MetalOne]

1)
def f(xs):
    for x in xs:
        if test(x): return True
    return False

I know that I can do (2), but it operates on the whole list and the original
may break out early.  I want the efficiency of (1), but the conciseness of (2).

2)
return True in map(test,xs)
