Thanks Gabriel, the second solution seems to work based on my tests.
So I have this now this test:

static BOOL IsPythonInstance( PyObject * src )
{
	{
		// old style classes or instances or new style classes or instances
		if( ( PyInstance_Check( src ) ) || ( PyClass_Check( src ) ) ||
PyObject_TypeCheck( src, &PyBaseObject_Type) )
		{
			return TRUE;
		}

		return FALSE;
	}
}
