any_isinstance

iteration_utilities.any_isinstance(iterable, types)

Like isinstance() but for iterables.

Checks if any item in iterable is an instance of types.

Parameters

iterableiterable

Each item of the iterable is tested with isinstance(item, types).

typestype or tuple of types

Test for this type if it’s a single class or test if the item is of any of the types (if types is a tuple).

Returns

anybool

True if any elements in iterable is an instance of types, False if not.

Examples

This function is equivalent (but faster) than any(isinstance(item, types) for item in iterable)

>>> from iteration_utilities import any_isinstance
>>> all_isinstance(range(100), int)
True

>>> any_isinstance([1, 2, 3.2], float)
True
