Python "map or" on elements in list

What's the most elegant way of doing something like this:

>>> tests = [false, false, false]
>>> map_or(test)
false

>>> tests = [true, false, false]
>>> map_or(test)
true

The map_or function should return true if one or more of list elements are true.

Use any(). It is a built-in function that just does what you want.

(and the rest of this is padding because yet again StackOverflow treats users like idiots and sets minimum answer lengths)
