I want to check the type of an object, right now I am doing
strcmp( object->ob_type->tp_name, "MyClass")
Which seems slow, is there a way I can find the pointer to the
global PyTypeObject for MyClass, and then just call
PyObject_TypeCheck?
Simply get the PyObject that corresponds to MyClass using
PyObject_GetAttr on the module (or in some other way). If MyClass is
a new-style class, you can cast it to PyTypeObject and compare that to
object->ob_type.
