checking type of my own objects

[Tobiah]

Hi,

I have a module that defines a few classes.
one of them is Event. If I do:

e = Event()
print type(e)

I get back:

<class 'score.Event'>

now to check to see whether a given object
is an Event or not, I could parse the string
output of type, but that does not seem correct.

What is the best way to check the type?

Thanks,

Tobiah

What is the best way to check the type?

e.__class__ is Event

or if you want to include subclasses:

isinstance(e, Event)

 

[Tobiah]

e.__class__ is Event

I appreciate that, thank you.
