Ah ! I didn't know that if an object Obj is an instance of Myclass and
MyClass inherit from MyClass2, then Ojb is an instance of MyClass2 too

So we can conclude that inspect.isclass(x) is equivalent
to isinstance(x, type)
lets have a look at the source code of isclass:
def isclass(object):
"""Return true if the object is a class.
Class objects provide these attributes:
__doc__ documentation string
__module__ name of module in which this class was defined"""
return isinstance(object, type)
correct
