How to check if variable is a specific class in python?

Question

I have a variable \"myvar\" that when I print out its type(myvar)

the output is:

If

Answer 1

Use isinstance, this will return true even if it is an instance of the subclass:

if isinstance(x, my.object.kind)

Or:

type(x) == my.object.kind #3.x

If you want to test all in the list:

if any(isinstance(x, my.object.kind) for x in alist)

Answer 2

Try

if any([isinstance(x, my.object.kind) for x in mylist]):
    print "found"

Answer 3

if any(map(lambda x: isinstance(x, my.object.kind), my_list_of_objects)):
    print "Found one!"
