Ok.  In that case, the following is probably faster (in fact for long
iterables it may be equivalent to the builtin all):

from itertools import ifilterfalse

def all(iterable):
    for _ in ifilterfalse(None, iterable):
        return False
    return True


But my point was really about not checking for the version but just
checking for the existence of the name 'all'.
