In Python, how do I determine if an object is iterable?

Question

Is there a method like isiterable? The only solution I have found so far is to call

hasattr(myObj, \'__iter__\')

But I am not

Answer 1

Since Python 3.5 you can use the typing module from the standard library for type related things:

from typing import Iterable

...

if isinstance(my_item, Iterable):
    print(True)
