I think that any() documentation is quite clear:
- you need iterable
- you need expression which returns boolean value
- there is 'short-circuit' which breaks out of iteration if first True is encountered
- return value is boolean (True or False)
The way you try to use any is not the intended way.
Example: is there any filename in directory which name contains 'latest':

any('latest' in file_name for file_name in directory)If first True is encountered then any returns True and stops (this is the point of 'any' - it takes only one to make it True)
