I used the Linux tools on my PC to search the library.

(Oooh, I'm in trouble now... I called them *Linux* tools instead of GNU tools)
*half a smiley*

At a bash prompt, I did:

cd /usr/local/lib/python3.2
grep " all[(]" *.py
grep " any[(]" *.py

Whatever your operating system is, find your Python installation, and search
the .py files.
