How would you check if a variable is a dictionary in python?
For example, I'd like it to loop through the values in the dictionary until it finds a dictionary. Then, loop through the one it finds:
dict = {'abc': 'abc', 'def': {'ghi': 'ghi', 'jkl': 'jkl'}}
for k, v in dict.iteritems():
if ###check if v is a dictionary:
for k, v in v.iteritems():
print(k, ' ', v)
else:
print(k, ' ', v)
Answer
You could use if type(ele) is dict
or use isinstance(ele, dict)
which would work if you had subclassed dict
:
d = {'abc':'abc','def':{'ghi':'ghi','jkl':'jkl'}}
for ele in d.values():
if isinstance(ele,dict):
for k, v in ele.items():
print(k,' ',v)
