It is a type, which is a first-class object in its own right. type('hello') == str However, I reiterate, you almost certainly don't really care about what the actual type is. To care about the actual type is to struggle against a fundamental feature of python: Duck Typing. Yes, I admit, there are situations in which you might really care about the actual type. However, given that you do not know how to check the type in Python, the chances are rather high that you are sufficienly new to Python to not realize that, typically, you need not (and should not) care about the actual type. The chances are that you are trying to program in a style which you learned in another language, and which not the most productive in Python. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
