If you need to support old-style classes, replace type(obj) with obj.__class__.You can use obj.__class__ for both old and new-style classes, so it seems to be the safer choice.
Note, that there will be some objects that can't be cloned this way - ('None' springs to mind), so you may need to trap TypeError when you call obj.__class__
