How do I test is a Python variable is a set

Question

If I have an object:

w = {'A'}

how do I test if this is a set or not?

`isinstance` is a builtin, but type-checking is generally discouraged in python. — g.d.d.c, Feb 17 '15 at 18:36

if isinstance(w, set):

Add this if statement to check, replace w with the variable you want to check.
