The question you might want to asked is whether the parameter is a single string or a sequence of strings. That way your code will also work with an iterator that returns strings.type('asdf') is strTrue
I agree with the general approach, but this test will fail for Unicode strings, and so is probably bad mojo moving forward. Instead I suggest:
isinstance(x, basestring) which will work whether x='asdf' or x=u'asdf'. Best, - Joe -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
