Python check if variable isinstance of any type in list

How do I compactly perform the following: var = 7.0 var_is_good = ( isinstance(var, classinfo1) or isinstance(var, classinfo2) or isinstance(var, classinfo3) )
isinstance() takes a tuple of classes for the second argument. It'll return true if the first argument is an instance of any of the types in that sequence: isinstance(var, (classinfo1, classinfo2, classinfo3)) In other words, isinstance() already offers this functionality, out of the box. From the isinstance() documentation: If classinfo is neither a class object nor a type object, it may be a tuple of class or type objects, or may recursively contain other such tuples (other sequence types are not accepted). Emphasis mine; note the recursive nature; (classinfo1, (classinfo2, classinfo3)) is also a valid option.
