 ahh - it helped. thank you!
 
 but, so it means that PyType_Check() doesn't work for new style
 classes' instances? it returns 0 but i understood from the
 documentation that it should return 1:

 """
 int PyType_Check(PyObject *o)
     Returns true if the object o is a type object, including instances
     of types derived from the standard type object. Returns false in
     all other cases.
 """
