How to check if an object is iterable in Python? [duplicate]

Answer 1

You don't "check". You assume.

try:
   for var in some_possibly_iterable_object:
       # the real work.
except TypeError:
   # some_possibly_iterable_object was not actually iterable
   # some other real work for non-iterable objects.

It's easier to ask forgiveness than to ask permission.
