Type of regular expression

[Joakim Hove]

Hello,

I wondered how I could test wether an argument was of type compiled
regexp:

from types import *

def do_something(arg):
if type(arg) is StringType:
print "%s is a string" % arg
elsif type(arg) is RegexpType:
print "%s is a regexp" % arg
else
sys.exit("Argument must be *either* string or regular expression")

which is then called as:

do_something("a string")
do_something(re.compile("^F")

Regards

Joakim
