[Rhythmbox-devel] checking an object type in Rhythmbox

[Ron Croonenberg <ronc depauw edu>]

Hello,

I am trying to write a plugin for Rhythmbox and want to check if an 
object I have is of a certain type

what I want to do is something like:

if type(source) == type(something.RBPlayQueueSource):

if I do a "print type(SOURCE)", print shows me the string 
"browse.__main__.RBPlayQueueSource".

I am wondering what class '__main__' is an instance of.


or is there a better way to do this?

thanks,

Ron
