Ralf Schmitt added the comment: The return value should be -1 in case of errors. There's also a second code path swallowing all errors. I've converted brian's test.py to a unit test testing both code paths and added an updated patch for this one. This patch is against trunk. All tests in Lib/test/test_isinstance.py pass.
