get hold of something you know is a PyCObject, and extract
its type on the module level.  here's one way to do it:

    import cStringIO
    CObjectType = type(cStringIO.cStringIO_CAPI)

    ...

    def __init__(self,arg1):
         if not isinstance(arg1, CObjectType):
            raise AnException

    ...
