I guess you should read "extract" documentation:
http://boost.org/libs/python/doc/v2/extract.html

boost::python::extract< something > ex( obj );
if( ex.check() ){
    ....
}
else{
    ....
}


I didn't try this for boost::python::dict class. If this will not
work, you can always use "isinstance" functionality.
