The question you might want to asked is whether the parameter

type('asdf') is str
True
I agree with the general approach, but this test will fail for Unicode
strings, and so is probably bad mojo moving forward. Instead I suggest:
isinstance(x, basestring)
which will work whether x='asdf' or x=u'asdf'.
