1. 根基语法
isinstance(object, classinfo)
Return true if the object argument is an instance of the classinfo argument, or of a (direct, indirect or virtual) subclass thereof. Also return true if classinfo is a type object (new-style class) and object is an object of that type or of a (direct, indirect or virtual) subclass thereof. If object is not a class instance or an object of the given type, the function always returns false. If classinfo is neither a class object nor a type object, it may be a tuple of class or type objects, or may recursively contain other such tuples (other sequence types are not accepted). If classinfo is not a class, type, or tuple of classes, types, and such tuples, a TypeError exception is raised.
classinfo 处可以是 a class, type, or tuple of classes and types,
假如是 tuple,则满意 tuple 中的任何一个即返回 True
2. 字符串的范例判定。
字符串,分为 str 和 unicode,二者均担任自 basestring
>>> isinstance(u'3.0', unicode) True >>> isinstance('3.0', str) True >>> isinstance(u'3.0', str) False >>> isinstance(u'3.0', str) False >>> isinstance(u'3.0', basestring) True >>> isinstance('3.0', basestring) True
3. 数字的范例判定
数字分为 int 和 float,暂未发明二者配合的有效父类。
可以用 (int, float) tuple 来判定是否为数字(int 或 float)
>>> isinstance('3', (int, float)) False >>> isinstance(3.0, (int, float)) True >>> isinstance(3, (int, float)) True >>> isinstance(3.0, float) True >>> isinstance(3.0, int) False >>> isinstance(3, float) False >>> isinstance(3, int) True
