Redifing any for numpy.any in the console

The automatic imports that Spyder does end up overwriting Python's built-in any() with numpy.any()

This has a dangerous side effect when dealing with generator expressions passed to any(). Python's any() will return a bool, but numpy.any() will return a gen objector.

If this is a problem for you, you can disable the "scientific startup script" in the advanced options of the console (in the preferences window).

Thank you for providing that option. Nonetheless, I believe this silent default behavior is worth changing, considering it does NOT manifest in an error but silently "does the wrong thing" (because if generator_exp will always return True)

You are totally right. That's why this is going to be changed in 2.3 to not import anything by default.
