[New-bugs-announce] [issue28530] Howto detect if an object is of type os.DirEntry

[stephan]

New submission from stephan:

I have a small problem with python 3.5.2 64bit on win7 64 bit:

I cannot check if an object is of type DirEntry 
(os.DirEntry or nt.DirEntry).

Did I misunderstand something or what is wrong?

Here is a log of my console:
-----------------------------------------
In [63]: sd = os.scandir(".")

In [64]: de = next(sd)

In [65]: type(de)
Out[65]: nt.DirEntry

In [66]: import nt

In [67]: nt.DirEntry
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
