+# What Does isinstance() Do in Python?
+
+This folder provides the code examples for the Real Python tutorial [What Does isinstance() Do in Python?](https://realpython.com/what-does-isinstance-do-in-python/).
+
+The `.py` files contain the code found in the tutorial. 
+
+When setting up your tutorial environment, make sure `balls.py`, `balls_v2.py`, and `player_iterables.py` are in your program folder.  You'll need to import content from these to replicate the tutorial examples.
