Check if a variable is SRE_Match

Question

I need to check if a variable is a regular expression match object.

print(type(m)) returns something like that: <_sre.SRE_Match object at 0x000

Answer 1

You can do something like this

isinstance(m, type(re.match("","")))

Usually there is no need to check the type of match objects, so noone has bothered to make a nice way to do it
