Making a program that determines the data type: How do I change the type of data I input?

I’m making a program that determines what type the input is (int, float or str), however I know that the input() function accepts inputs as strings so I’m a bit stuck.

stuff = input('Enter something: ')
print('Input is int?', stuff == int(stuff))
print('Input is float?', stuff == float(stuff))
print('Input is string?', stuff == str(stuff))

The above code is just to provide some context, it doesn’t actually work though.

Or the more practical way:

stuff = input('Enter something: ')
print(type(stuff))

But it always returns <class 'str'> which doesn’t always provide the correct answer e.g what if I entered "10"? Any ideas on how to change the type the input?

>Solution :

Do something like this:

stuff = input('Enter something: ')
try:
    # first you try an int, which is the most restrictive one
    stuff = int(stuff)
    print("It's an int")
except ValueError:
    # then you try a float which is less restrictive
    try: 
        stuff = float(stuff)
        print("It's a float")
    except ValueError:
        # if both conversions fail, it's a string
        print("Looks like it's a string after all")
