title: Sequence find function?
body: <p>How do I find an object in a sequence satisfying a particular criterion?</p>
  
  <p>List comprehension and filter go through the entire list. Is the only alternative a handmade loop?</p>
  
  <pre><code>mylist = [10, 2, 20, 5, 50]
  find(mylist, lambda x:x&gt;10) # Returns 20
  </code></pre>
