Use this:
if type(a) == type(1):
print "a is int %d"
elif type(a) == type(1.1):
.......
HTH..

Hi
I want to check the type of a variable so that I know which format to use
for printing eg
def print_correct_format(a):
if type(a) == 'int':
print "a is an integer, value %i" % (a)
elif type(a) == 'float':
print "a is a float, value %f" % (a)
else:
print "a is unknown type"
The comparison type(a) == 'int' etc does not work - I'm sure there's a
simple way to fix this but can't see it at the moment - any suggestions?
