How to check and compare type of an object in Python?
Compare object type
Class, or type, is an object that holds information about how to construct a certain kind of objects and what that kind of objects can do. A type is the class of a class. Like everything else in Python, classes themselves are objects, and you can pass them around, assign them to variables, etc. If you ask a class what its class is, you will get the answer type. If you ask a class instance what its class is, you will of course get the class.
