You can use a try/except block:

import pandas as pd
series = pd.Series(['One'])  
try: 
     iter(series) 
     print('your object is iterable') 
except TypeError: 
     print(series, ' is not iterable') 

# your object is iterable

or

series = 1  
try: 
     iter(series) 
     print('your object is iterable') 
except TypeError: 
     print(series, ' is not iterable') 

# 1 is not iterable
