Return whether all elements are True, potentially over an axis.
Returns True unless there at least one element within a series or along a Dataframe axis that is False or equivalent (e.g. zero or empty).
Indicate which axis or axes should be reduced. For Series this parameter is unused and defaults to 0.
0 / ‘index’ : reduce the index, return a Series whose index is the original column labels.
1 / ‘columns’ : reduce the columns, return a Series whose index is the original index.
None : reduce all axes, return a scalar.
Include only boolean columns. Not implemented for Series.
Exclude NA/null values. If the entire row/column is NA and skipna is True, then the result will be True, as for an empty row/column. If skipna is False, then NA are treated as True, because these are not equal to zero.
Additional keywords have no effect but might be accepted for compatibility with NumPy.
If level is specified, then, Series is returned; otherwise, scalar is returned.

DataFrame.anyReturn True if one (or more) elements are True.
Examples
Series
>>> pd.Series([True, True]).all()
True
>>> pd.Series([True, False]).all()
False
>>> pd.Series([], dtype="float64").all()
True
>>> pd.Series([np.nan]).all()
True
>>> pd.Series([np.nan]).all(skipna=False)
True
DataFrames
Create a dataframe from a dictionary.
>>> df = pd.DataFrame({'col1': [True, True], 'col2': [True, False]})
>>> df
col1 col2
0 True True
1 True False
Default behaviour checks if values in each column all return True.
>>> df.all()
col1 True
col2 False
dtype: bool
Specify axis='columns' to check if values in each row all return True.
>>> df.all(axis='columns')
0 True
1 False
dtype: bool
Or axis=None for whether every value is True.
>>> df.all(axis=None)
False
