Why have you re-implemented (a less-functional version of) 'isinstance'?
>>> help(isinstance)
Help on built-in function isinstance in module __builtin__:
isinstance(...)
isinstance(object, class-or-type-or-tuple) -> bool
Return whether an object is an instance of a class or of a subclass
thereof.
With a type as second argument, return whether that is the object's
type.
The form using a tuple, isinstance(x, (A, B, ...)), is a shortcut for
isinstance(x, A) or isinstance(x, B) or ... (etc.).
>>> isinstance(3, (int, float))
True
