I would like to test if an object can accept: obj[0]
Then do so. Use the object in the way you want to use it, and catch
any exceptions that you want to handle.
>>from sets import Set
>>Set([1,2])[0]
TypeError: unindexable object
>>3[0]
TypeError: unsubscriptable object
It seems like each of these errors can be replaced with a single
type error.
Well, they are both merely instances of TypeError, just with a
different message. Catching 'TypeError' will catch either of them.
I agree, though, that it would be preferable to have the same message
for these two cases that appear to be saying the same thing.
