That's a very good point. I also suspect that for any actual 2.6/3.0 
code base I end up working with there will only be a very limited number 
of abstract base classes that get tested for via isinstance - so the red 
flag for isinstance checks would be types I didn't already recognise as 
being abstract base classes.

Cheers,
Nick.
