type() for new style classes - buggy?

[Michal Vitecek]

 hello,

 does the type() command work correctly for new style classes? i guess
 it does not, unfortunately. for example, for a new style class'
 instance it returns <class '__main__.ClassName'>, but for old style
 class' instance it returns <type 'instance'>.

 >>> import types
 >>> class A(object):
         pass
 >>> class B:
         pass
 >>> type(A())
 <class '__main__.A'>
 >>> type(B())
 <type 'instance'>
 >>> type(A()) == types.InstanceType
 0
 >>> type(B()) == types.InstanceType
 1

 how can one then determine what he's working with when he uses new
 style classes (either instance or class)?

        thank you,
