H = "Hello"

if type(H) is list or type(H) is tuple:
    ## Do Something.
else
    ## Do Something.

仅在python2中(不是python3):

assert not isinstance(lst, basestring)

实际上是你想要的，否则你会错过很多像列表一样的东西，但不是list或tuple的子类。

就这么做

if type(lst) in (list, tuple):
    # Do stuff

在python中>3.6

import collections
isinstance(set(),collections.abc.Container)
True
isinstance([],collections.abc.Container)
True
isinstance({},collections.abc.Container)
True
isinstance((),collections.abc.Container)
True
isinstance(str,collections.abc.Container)
False

assert (type(lst) == list) | (type(lst) == tuple), "Not a valid lst type, cannot be string"

我在测试用例中这样做。

def assertIsIterable(self, item):
    #add types here you don't want to mistake as iterables
    if isinstance(item, basestring): 
        raise AssertionError("type %s is not iterable" % type(item))

    #Fake an iteration.
    try:
        for x in item:
            break;
    except TypeError:
        raise AssertionError("type %s is not iterable" % type(item))

没有在发电机上进行测试，我认为如果通过发电机，你会在下一次“屈服”时留下，这可能会把下游的事情搞砸。不过，这是一个unittest
