[IronPython] Distinguishing DLR object from CLR object

[Dino Viehland]

If by "DLR object" you mean an object which has dynamic behavior beyond just it's type you can check to see if it implements IDynamicObject.  But there really isn't anything considered to be a "DLR object".  They're all just CLR objects and some of them can have dynamic behavior.  Even normal CLR objects could have behaviors beyond just their normal CLR type - for example the various methods we add onto .NET strings that match the Python built-in string members.  But I think IDynamicObject will probably get you the answer you're looking for.

Subject: [IronPython] Distinguishing DLR object from CLR object

Is there a straightforward and reliable way from within IronPython to tell if a particular object is a "CLR object' or a "DLR object"?  I can make a guess for just IronPython by saying

isPythonObject = clr.GetClrType(type(obj)).FullName.startswith('IronPython')

but this is both ugly and unreliable.
