No, that really is a feature!
Pretty much *everything* in the system is an object. This makes the entire
language uniform in its operation. It makes instrospection easier and it
allows metaclasses to change the behaviour of classes.

Then perhaps you could explain your problem and maybe we can help. So far
you've told us how you're going about something, but not why.
Why do you need to differentiate between classes and "instances"? Perhaps
there's another way to do what you want that will work.
