Elegant way to compare sequences

Question

Does python provide an elegant way to check for \"equality\" of sequences of different types? The following work, but they seem rather ugly and verbose for python code:

Answer 1

It's probably not as efficient, but it looks funky:

def cmpLists(a, b):
    return len(a) == len(b) and (False not in [a[i] == b[i] for i in range(0,len(a)])

I don't know the "all" function that Ben mentioned, but perhaps you could use that instead of "False not in"
