The second "type" seems to be superfluous. ;) I was thinking it suggested there was a local named "type". But if not, yeah. I get the impression Barry's pretty new to this "Python thing." Wonder what he's been up to. ;-)

As I mentioned, this has to be compatible with Python 2.1:

Python 2.1.3+ (#1, Apr 25 2005, 22:52:02) [GCC 3.3.5-20050130 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.5.20050130-r1,
ssp-3.3.5.20050130-1, pie- on linux2 Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

isinstance(Exception, type) Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in ? TypeError: isinstance() arg 2 must be a class or type isinstance(Exception, type(type)) 0

Python 2.5b2 (trunk:50835, Jul 25 2006, 23:27:51) [GCC 3.4.6 (Gentoo 3.4.6-r1, ssp-3.4.5-1.0, pie-8.7.9)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

isinstance(Exception, type) True isinstance(Exception, type(type)) True

I thought that was rather clever actually. :)
