python - 如何检查一个类型是否是 Python 中某个类型的子类型？

Question

如何检查一个类型是否是 Python 中某个类型的子类型？我指的不是类型的实例，而是比较类型实例本身。例如：

class A(object):
    ...

class B(A):
    ...

class C(object)
    ...

# Check that instance is a subclass instance:
isinstance(A(), A) --> True
isinstance(B(), A) --> True
isinstance(C(), A) --> False

# What about comparing the types directly?
SOME_FUNCTION(A, A) --> True
SOME_FUNCTION(B, A) --> True
SOME_FUNCTION(C, A) --> False

Answer 1

也许issubclass？

>>> class A(object): pass
>>> class B(A): pass
>>> class C(object): pass
>>> issubclass(A, A)
True
>>> issubclass(B, A)
True
>>> issubclass(C, A)
False
