Testing whether something is of type Exception

[John Nagle]

    How can I tell whether an object is of type Exception?
At least in Python 2.4, "Exception" is an old-style class, and
the "type" of Exception objects is "instance".

    Clearly "repr" knows; it returns:
        <exceptions.Exception instance at 0x00A30A80>
