Negative form of isinstance() in Python

How would I use a negative form of Python's isinstance()?

x != 1

if x not in y

if not a

I just haven't seen an example with isinstance(), so I'd like to know if there's a correct way to used negation with isinstance().

Solution

  • Just use not. isinstance just returns a bool, which you can not like any other.
