Your all/any function could be easily generalised and used in more contexts like so:

def get_instances(list, instance):
    i = 0
    for item in list: i += item==instance
    return i

print get_instances( [0, 1, False, True], True )

As well, that "any" function can be summarized in a simple condition:

if True in list: print "At least one true is in the list."

(and same to your "all" function: if False in list)

Nice Cache function though.
