using element on a list as condition statement

[buran]

I think that using built-in any() is even more efficient approach.

nope, it's not

from timeit import timeit

print(timeit("any(11==item for item in [11, 22, 33, 44, 55])"))
print(timeit("11 in [11, 22, 33, 44, 55]"))

print(timeit("any(55==item for item in [11, 22, 33, 44, 55])"))
print(timeit("55 in [11, 22, 33, 44, 55]"))

Output:
0.4314083050001045
