class or class-instance ?

[Stef Mientki]

hello,

I've a procedure (or in fact a class method) that should be callable with
either a class
(in which case the procedure should create an instance)
or with an instance of that class
as the parameter.

def somefunction ( self, parameter ) :
if parameter is a class, create an instance of that class
else do nothing

now I should be able to call the above procedure in either of the
following ways:

somefunction ( someclass )

or

somefunction ( someclass () )
thanks,
Stef Mientki

There is a

isclass

in the module inspect.
