Why you should care
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text pl=”0″ pr=”0″ pt=”0″ pb=”0″]
The function isinstance is the best-equipped to handle type checking because it supports inheritance (e.g. an instance of a derived class is an instance of a base class, too). Therefore isinstance should be used whenever type comparison is required
