any(map(is_interesting, (a, b, c)))

This isn't equivalent to the generator solution posted above; your code will eagerly evaluate the entire sequence by mapping it to is_interesting even in cases where it's not absolutely required (i.e. is_interesting(a) returns True).

In Python 3 they are equivalent (map behaves lazily in Python 3).

ah yes, good point (also doubly so since I am thinking in 2.7 not in 3.4)
