no-basestring ============= Do not use ``isinstance(s, basestring)`` as basestring has been removed in Python3. You can import ``string_types``, ``binary_type``, or ``text_type`` from ``ansible.module_utils.six`` and then use ``isinstance(s, string_types)`` or ``isinstance(s, (binary_type, text_type))`` instead. If this is part of code to convert a string to a particular type, ``ansible.module_utils.common.text.converters`` contains several functions that may be even better for you: ``to_text``, ``to_bytes``, and ``to_native``.
