Not switch, but the closest you'll get is: if (object->ob_type == PyString_Type) { ... string } else if (object->ob_type == PyInt_Type) { ... int } else if (object->ob_type == PyBool_Type) { ... bool } > I don't want to run all the C Py***_Check functions on the object. Py*_Check are not expensive if the object really is of the target type. They are necessary to support subtyping correctly. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
