any() function in Python with a callback

Question

The Python standard library defines an any() function that

Return True if any element of the iterable is true. If the iterable is empty, return False.

It checks only if the elements evaluate to True. What I want it to be able so specify a callback to tell if an element fits the bill like:

any([1, 2, 'joe'], lambda e: isinstance(e, int) and e > 0)

Answer 1

Slight improvement to Antoine P's answer

>>> any(type(e) is int for e in [1,2,'joe'])
True

For all()

>>> all(type(e) is int for e in [1,2,'joe'])
False

Answer 2

filter can work, plus it returns you the matching elements

>>> filter(lambda e: isinstance(e, int) and e > 0, [1,2,'joe'])
[1, 2]
