[Python-ideas] having a "iterable" built-in

April 29, 2009

      Hello

unless I missed it, I couldn't find a built-in to check if an object
is iterable,

so I wrote this function :

def iterable(ob):
    try:
        iter(ob)
    except TypeError:
        return False
    return True

What about having such a built-in in Python ? (with the proper
implementation if course)

Regards
Tarek
