A class is an object whose type is <type 'class'>. A type is an object
whose type is <type 'type'>. Notice that it Python 2.2, "new-style"
classes are also types.

An instance of a class is always associated with a C language pointer,
of type PyObject*.

Your questions are meaningful and have meaningful answers. Perhaps you
still wanted to ask different questions.
