Which reinforces Michael Spencer's instinct that the inspect.isclass() implementation is a bit too clever (see http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2006-July/351448.html). > If there is no __getattr__ method isclass works as expected.

It certainly should, and I believe that the obvious test isinstance(obj, (types.ClassType, type)) will work. Peter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
