checking type of my own objects

Hi,

I have a module that defines a few classes.
one of them is Event. If I do:

e = Event()
print type(e)

I get back:

<class 'score.Event'>

now to check to see whether a given object
is an Event or not, I could parse the string
output of type, but that does not seem correct.

What is the best way to check the type?

Thanks,

Tobiah

e.__class__ is Event

or if you want to include subclasses:

isinstance(e, Event)
