You can use a try/except block:
import pandas as pd
series = pd.Series(['One'])
try:
iter(series)
print('your object is iterable')
except TypeError:
print(series, ' is not iterable')
# your object is iterable
or
series = 1
try:
iter(series)
print('your object is iterable')
except TypeError:
print(series, ' is not iterable')
# 1 is not iterable
