There is no way to import, as Boost.Python.enum or Boost.Python.class. This can be a problem.
This is what I used when I was doing boost.python:
def isEnumType(o):
return isinstance(o, type) and issubclass(o,int) and not (o is int)
This also detects other subclasses of int, so if you are doing a lot of that, you will also want to check that the module is your extension module.

Subject: [C++-sig] Check if object is of type Boost.Python.enum
I’m trying to find a clean way to test if an object in Python is of type Boost.Python.enum:
>>> myEnum.__bases__
(<type 'Boost.Python.enum'>,)
The easiest way would probably just be isinstance, but I can’t seem to find a way to import Boost.Python.enum. Anyone know how to import the necessary module or have a better idea? For what I’m doing, I can’t simply rely on duck typing.
Thanks,
Josh
