how can i check whether a variable is iterable in my code?

[James Mills]

satoru,

I should point out that the normal
approach is to just try whatever it
is that you're doing, and let it fail
where it fails. For example:

def processSeq(x):
   for i in x:
      print i

processSeq([1, 2, 3])
processSeq("foobar")
processSeq(5) <-- This will fail.

cheers
James
