Hi,
Thanks for all the comments so far.
DaveA, I'm receiving the value via pyODBC, after running a query on a database.
The test is to first make sure the value is a Decimal (pyODBC returns a Decimal
object if what is coming from the database is a decimal type). So if I don't
have a value that is a Decimal object something is wrong.
Cheers,
T

The reason why is I'm receiving the Decimal value from another program,
if I already know that the value will be a Decimal why test it?
How are you receiving it? File, pickle, pipe, socket, exit() return
value? When I first read your question, I assumed you meant "from
another module." But if it's another process, then you'd better tell us
how you're actually getting the value. Maybe it's a Decimal because you
just got done converting it to one.
DaveA
If the value is being passed back from another module, and you therefore
want to do an exact test on the type, just do
if type(a) == decimal.Decimal:
On the other hand, if you just want to know if it's a particular type,
or some subclass of that type, use isinstance();.
