first of not None

[Serge Matveenko]

Hello, everybody!

Could someone help me with coding this thing?

I need to put in the var property of the first object from the list
that is not None. Somth like:

foo = first_of([any, beny, riki,]).name

Dont want to ugly if-cascade:

foo = any.name if name is not None else beny.name if beny is not None \
else riki.name if riki is not None
