How to identify numpy types in python?

Question

How can one reliably determine if an object has a numpy type?

I realize that this question goes against the philosophy of duck typing, but idea is to make sure a fun

Answer 1

The solution I've come up with is:

isinstance(y, (np.ndarray, np.generic) )

However, it's not 100% clear that all numpy types are guaranteed to be either np.ndarray or np.generic, and this probably isn't version robust.
