Determine if object is part of base class

[SeanKane88]

Is it possible to determine if an object is part of a base / parent class? I.e. I would to do the following check:

if (ObjectType == ObjectParentType):

    my code here

Object is a sketchLine or a sketchArc. From the reference manual I know that these are both inherited from sketchCurve. However, I can't figure out how to get the parent type from the sketchLine / Arc etc. so every test I have been able to do ends up failing because the equality ends up being something like sketchLine == sketchCurve, which fails.

This is discussed in the "Python Specific Issues" topic in the API help.  Here's a direct link that shows you can use the Python isInstance function.
