Blackjack's solution would take care of the problem, so this is just for general info. Looks like a "feature" of isinstance() is to consider both True and 1 as booleans, but type() distinguishes between the two. >>> x=True ... if type(x) == type(1): ... print "int" ... else: ... print "not int" ... not int if type(x) == type(True): ... print "bool" ... bool -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
