astring ('a','tuple')
How do I determine if "x" is a tuple or string?
if isinstance(x, basestring):
# a string
else:
try: it = iter(x)
except TypeError:
# not an iterable
else:
# iterable (tuple, list, etc)
@Alex Martelli's answer describes in detail why you should prefer the above style when you're working with types in Python (thanks to @Mike Hordecki for the link).
isinstance(x, str)
isinstance(x, tuple)
In general:
isinstance(variable, type)
Checks whether variable
is an instance of type
(or its subtype) ( docs ).
PS. Don't forget that strings can also be in unicode ( isinstance(x, unicode)
in this case) (or isinstance(x, basestring)
(thanks, JF Sebastian!) which checks for both str
and unicode
).
use isinstance()
, general syntax is:
if isinstance(var, type):
# do something
