带有PHP风格的Python:

def is_array(var):
    return isinstance(var, (list, tuple))

我倾向于这样做(如果我真的，真的必须这么做的话):

for i in some_var:
   if type(i) == type(list()):
       #do something with a list
   elif type(i) == type(tuple()):
       #do something with a tuple
   elif type(i) == type(str()):
       #here's your string

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

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

    return isinstance(var, (list, tuple))
