[issue8206] 2to3 doesn't convert 'types.InstanceType' to 'object'

[Martin v. Löwis]

Martin v. Löwis <martin at v.loewis.de> added the comment:

In a sense, *all* objects are instances of new-style classes in 2.x, including instances of old-style classes (which are instances of the InstanceType type, which is a type, and hence a new-style class).

You may want to look at the __flags__ property of the type object. If it is a heap type, there is a good chance that it was created through a class statement. Alternatively, you can look at the type's __module__, and find out whether the module is a Python module.
