  • When you don’t care about the type of object but rather only whether it has certain methods or behaviour.
    • “If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, then it’s a duck.”
# Example: You can verify that an object is iterable if it implemented the iterator protocol.
def isiterable(obj):
  try:
    iter(obj)
    return True
  except TypeError:
    return False
