Python check if isinstance any type in list?

Question

How do I pythonicly do:

var = 7.0
var_is_good = isinstance(var, classinfo1) or isinstance(var, classinfo2) or isinstance(var, classinfo3) or ... or  isinstance(v         


        

Answer 1

You generally shouldn't be using isinstance, but what you're wanting to do can be accomplished with the any() builtin function.

var_is_good = any(isinstance(var, t) for t in [type1, type2, type3])
