how to know if a variable is a tuple, a string or an integer?
isinstance(obj, tuple)
isinstance(obj, basestring)
isinstance(obj, int)
You just use:
type(varname)
which will output int, str, float, etc...
make use of isinstance ?
if isinstance(var, int):
if isinstance(var, str):
if isinstance(var, tuple):
Please note, should you wanted to check your var type in if statement, the construct
if type(varname) == "tuple": won't work. But these will:
if type(varname) is tuple:
if type(varname) is list:
if type(varname) is dict:
if type(varname) is int:
if type(varname) is str:
