class Example(object): pass class AnotherExample(Example): pass >>> issubclass(Example, object) True >>> issubclass(AnotherExample, object) True >>> issubclass(AnotherExample, Example) True >>> issubclass(Example, AnotherExample) False And finally >>> isinstance(Example, type) True This is true because type is the metaclass of object.
