Other than proposing a keyword operator instead of a function, apparently nothing. isinstance() even checks for subclasses, if I'm not mistaken, so the semantics should be identical. I must confess that an "isa" operator sounds like it would have been slightly nicer syntax than the isinstance() built-in function. But not enough nicer to change, IMHO.
