[C++-sig] accessing the python type system

[Stefan Seefeld]

hi there,

are there any functions/operators in boost.python to
let me access the python type system from within C++ ?

For example holding two python objects I'd like to test
whether one's type is derived from the other's type,
whether they are derived from a given type, i.e. things
like 'type', 'isinstance', etc.

Regards,
