Logged In: YES user_id=80475 Hmm. I'm not sure that counts as a bug. In an OO language, it's a feature that objects can be made to look like and be substituable for other types. In this case, you've taught your object to be able to fake some classlike behavior (having a __bases__ attribute). OTOH, inspect could have a stronger test for classhood: type(object) in (types.TypeType, types.ClassType)
