As I mentioned, this has to be compatible with Python 2.1:

Python 2.1.3+ (#1, Apr 25 2005, 22:52:02)
[GCC 3.3.5-20050130 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.5.20050130-r1,  
ssp-3.3.5.20050130-1, pie- on linux2
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
 >>> isinstance(Exception, type)
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
TypeError: isinstance() arg 2 must be a class or type
 >>> isinstance(Exception, type(type))
0

Python 2.5b2 (trunk:50835, Jul 25 2006, 23:27:51)
[GCC 3.4.6 (Gentoo 3.4.6-r1, ssp-3.4.5-1.0, pie-8.7.9)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
 >>> isinstance(Exception, type)
True
 >>> isinstance(Exception, type(type))
True

I thought that was rather clever actually. :)
