type("wx.Button") would return <type 'str'>, did you mean
type(wx.Button)? That still wouldn't be what you wanted.. For
"classic" classes type() returns <type 'classobj'>; for new style
classes it returns <type 'type'>
Assuming that wx.Button is the class of your Button objects then what
you want is the isinstance() function.
if isinstance(obj, wx.Button):
>>> 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.).
