New submission from Franklin? Lee <leewangzh...@gmail.com>:
isinstance:
> If classinfo is not a class (type object), it may be a tuple of type objects,
> or may recursively contain other such tuples (other sequence types are not
> accepted).
issubclass:
> classinfo may be a tuple of class objects, in which case every entry in
> classinfo will be checked.
It is unclear from the docs whether
issubclass(bool, (int, float))
should return True (because bool is a subclass of int),
or False (because bool is NOT a subclass of float).
(It returns True.)
It's likely also false that every entry will be checked, since presumably the
function uses short-circuit logic.
issubclass's doc also doesn't mention the recursive tuple case that
isinstance's doc has.
