The type of a tkinter StringVars and IntVars?

[Bob Greschke]

If I have

a = 6

I can do somehting like

if type(a) == int:
Root.bell()

How would I do the same thing if

a = IntVar()
a.set(6)

and then do

if type(a) == IntVar:
Root.bell()

Type() just returns that they are an 'instance'. Is there a way?

Thanks!

I don't do much GUI programming, but I believe you're looking for
the 'isinstance' function:
.... pass
....True
