Assuming we're talking about Python 2.5 or greater I find the
following pretty readable:
all(queuePacket.has_key(k) for k in ('procSeq', 'opacSeq', 'keySeq')) and \
all(len(queuePacket[k])==0 for k in ('procSeq', 'opacSeq', 'keySeq'))
If you're not familiar with how those work, they use generator
expressions, which are very similar to list comprehensions. See PEP
289 [1] for more information on generator expressions, and either the
tutorial [2] or PEP 202 [3] for more on list comprehensions.
