compare types?

[pythonhda]

It looks like you're trying to compare a "type" object to a "string" object. So they will never match. 
You could try to do something like convert the first part to a string:

if str(type(item)) == "<type 'DateTime'>":

Take a look at the "types" module cause there should be a better way than above...
