type and object

[Naveen Yadav]

Hi folks,


>> isinstance(type, object) is True   # 1
and
>> isinstance(object, type) is True   # 2


its means type is object is type, But i am not sure how is this.

For what i can understand is 
for #1: since every thing is object in python, type is also an object.
and 
for #2: object is a base type. therefore object is type
>> object.__doc__
>> 'The most base type'


Am I understanding this correct ? Please shed light on this.
