psycopg returns a datetime.datetime object from a TIMESTAMP column, and
a datetime.date object from a DATE column. You should not have to do
any type checking unless you are doing something odd, like I am, and
wanting to convert them all into datetime.datetime objects.

Perhaps if you explain what you are trying to do, I may be able to
suggest something.
