Dear Users, I'm in the process of adding assert statements to a large piece of code to aid with bug hunting and came across the following issue;
Using python in a terminal window you can do the following: >type(False) == bool True I would like to check that an object is a class, here's an example: >class b: ....def __init__(self): ........self.c = 1 ....def d(self): ........print self.c >type(b) <type 'classobj'> But the following fails: >type(b) == classobj Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? NameError: name 'classobj' is not defined For the time being I'll use b.__name__ == b to ensure I'm getting the right class. Is there a reason why the other types such as bool are defined but classobj isn't? I'm running the following version of python: Python 2.4.3 (#1, Jun 13 2006, 11:46:08) [GCC 4.1.1 20060525 (Red Hat 4.1.1-1)] on linux2 Cheers, Wesley Brooks -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
