Should 'firsttrue' return None? Surely, if none are true then it should
raise an exception.
which can fairly elegantly be written with stock-Python as
# try:
result = itertools.ifilter(None,(
# some arbitrary generator goes here
line.strip()
for line in
'\n\n \n CHEERS \n'.split('\n')
)).next()
# except StopIteration:
# result = YOUR_DEFAULT_HERE
