runtime type checking of wxDateTime "type"

wxPython Users

Given Python's polymorphism, I'm trying to write some code to
detect the type of an argument and ensure it's a wxDateTime
instance before proceeding as though it were (and possibly
generating exceptions). However, the only idiom that I
can find that seems to work is:

  isinstance(o, wxPython.utils.wxDateTimePtr)

Is there a less ugly/more elegant/more "conventional" way
to do this?

Thanks in advance,

That's the right way.
