Your code is quite intriguing, so I did some research.
Apparently according to Stackoverflow (link in my code), testing with type and isinstance is not very pythonic, and the preferred way is "duck typing", basically check if something acts like an iterable, then it MUST be an iterable. It was quite fun to refactor your code using this principle. 😀
