Py2.5:

  test = all( logflags )

Py2.4 (although somewhat ugly):

  try:
    test = itertools.ifilterfalse( logflags ).next()
  except StopIteration:
    test = True

otherwise: your above code will do just fine. Note that you can shortcut,
though, if any of the flags evaluates to False:

  test = True
  for x in logflags:
      if not x:
          test = False
          break
