[Python] How to check if an object can slice

Is this the right way to check if a Python object can be sliced or are there better/correct ways?

import typing


def can_slice(object) -> bool:

Update


The above can_slice is incorrect because a dictionary has __getitem__ but cannot be sliced.

---
False
