How about:

>>> class A:
	pass
>>> class B:
	pass
>>> objA = A()
>>> type( objA ) == type( A() )
True

then again....

>>> objB = B()
>>> type( objA ) == type( B() )
True

they're both of type 'instance'. So how about this:

>>> class A:
	pass
>>> class B( object ):
	pass
>>> objA = A()
>>> objB = B()
>>> type( objA )
<type 'instance'>
>>> type( objB )
<class '__main__.B'>
>>> type( objB ) == B
True

I believe that achieves what you were aiming for.
