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

This will solve your problem:

valid_instance_types = 
var_is_good = isinstance(var, valid_instance_types)

Based on the documentation there are a lot of ways you can pass values of types in to isinstance.

You might also look into voluptuous if you're trying to do a more complicated validation of which this is just a part.
