...which made me wonder what this canonical test is. The answer:
def isclass(object):
"""Return true if the object is a class.
Class objects provide these attributes:
__doc__ documentation string
__module__ name of module in which this class was defined"""
return isinstance(object, types.ClassType) or hasattr(object, '__bases__')
I wonder why the test isn't
isinstance(object, (types.ClassType, type))
