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 sure how fool-proof this is.

Answer 1

option 1:

_getitem_

option 2: with example

from __future__ import print_function

try:

some_object_iterator = iter(some_object)

except TypeError as te:

print(some_object, 'is not iterable')
