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

Python 3有这个:

from typing import List

def isit(value):
    return isinstance(value, List)

isit([1, 2, 3])  # True
isit("test")  # False
isit({"Hello": "Mars"})  # False
isit((1, 2))  # False

因此，要检查list和tuple，它将是:

from typing import List, Tuple

def isit(value):
    return isinstance(value, List) or isinstance(value, Tuple)

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

我在tensorflow中找到了这样一个名为is_sequence的函数。

def is_sequence(seq):
  """Returns a true if its input is a collections.Sequence (except strings).
  Args:
    seq: an input sequence.
  Returns:
    True if the sequence is a not a string and is a collections.Sequence.
  """
  return (isinstance(seq, collections.Sequence)
and not isinstance(seq, six.string_types))

我已经核实了，它符合你的需求。

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

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。
