ACCEPTED ANSWER
Score 325
You can use issubclass() like this assert issubclass(suit, Suit).
ANSWER 2
Score 62
Excerpt:
Return true if
classis a subclass (direct, indirect or virtual) ofclassinfo.
ANSWER 3
Score 34
You can use isinstance if you have an instance, or issubclass if you have a class. Normally thought its a bad idea. Normally in Python you work out if an object is capable of something by attempting to do that thing to it.
ANSWER 4
Score 28
The issubclass(sub, sup) boolean function returns true if the given subclass sub is indeed a subclass of the superclass sup.
