What is the most pythonic way to search for a value in a dictionary of dictionaries with different keys?

Question

How can I find in a list of dictionaries that it contain at least one value.

I found a couple of answers to this question but in all of them they suppose you know the key name in this case I don't know what's the name of the key.

Example:

 dic_list = [
              {u'12': False, u'3': True, u'6': False, u'9': False},
              {u'12': False, u'3': False, u'6': False, u'9': False}
            ]

How can I return True if there's at least one True as a value in either of these dictionaries without having to do a nested for loop?

It's looks for keys. If you want to look for the values use `any(True in d.values() ..` — Lucas Vazquez, Dec 08 '19 at 20:44

With builtin any function:

has_true = any(True in d.values() for d in dic_list)
