in pymel, each pynode has a method called .nodeType() that you can query. .type() is no longer used to determine the node type because of clashes with
if you get selected objects with pymel it will automatically pynode all of your objects: pm.selected() returns a list of pynode types = [node.nodeType() for node in pm.selected()] this might simplify your code a bit I hope.
