Re: [Tutor] Is there a test for hashability?

Thanks, James, from your ideas I've come up with this function as a
general test for hashibility of any object:

def is_hashable(object):
    try:
        if hash(object):
            return True
    except TypeError:
        return False

No need for the "if hash" test, just try hash:

def is_hashable(obj):
    try:
        hash(object)
        return True
    except TypeError:
        return False
