C api question and determining PyObject type

[lallous]

Actually, the object class is defined as:
    class __object(object):
        def __getitem__(self, idx):
            return getattr(self, idx)

Anyway, now I check like this:

bool PyIsSequenceType(PyObject *obj)
{
  if (!PySequence_Check(obj))
    return false;
  Py_ssize_t sz = PySequence_Size(obj);
  if (sz == -1 || PyErr_Occurred() != NULL)
  {
    PyErr_Clear();
    return false;
  }
  return true;
}

I don't like it, any other suggestions?
