type() new style class instance says "class", not "ObjectType"

[Brad Clements]

Could someone explain this to me.

Lots of code does  type(x) in [InstanceType]

One might imagine that to support new style classes, this would be changed
to:

type(x) in [InstanceType,ObjectType]


But that doesn't work because type(new style instance) returns "Class"

>>> class x(object):
...  pass
...
>>> y = x()
>>> type(y)
<class '__main__.x'>

>>> type(x)
<type 'type'>

This seems the best way:

>>> isinstance(y,ObjectType)
1
>>>

I'm hoping someone can illucidate this for me.
