Now that the introduction of a class hierarchy is dead, I'd like to move forward with the isinstance(x, (A, B, C...)) patch. Followup question: should I also implement issubclass(X, (A, B, C...))? It's consistent to do so, but it's more work (issubclass is a bit murkier due to the "abstract subclass" support), and I'm not sure that it has the same benefits... --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
