Iterable is a key concept in Python. Think of it as allowing you to do a for loop over "stuff." This includes being able to do for loops over non-sequences like dictionaries and sets.
Trying to determine which of Python's various data types support the iterable concept can be tedious. Below is a table that helps with that. Also, the links in the table go to the corresponding Python documentation.
Please note that the table is not meant to be an exhaustive enumeration of where an iterable is used. The goal is to help people get started on their journey. For example, the table contains collections.abc.Sequence but it does not contain the other applicable abstract base classes for containers.
Technical Note: I couldn't get Blogger.Com to properly render the table. Consequently, I have included a screenshot of the table below. To go to the table with the links, click here.
