Python | issubclass()
This is done by using a method called issubclass() provided by python. The method tells us if any class is a child of another class by returning true or false accordingly.
class Parent(object):
pass
class Child(Parent):
pass
print(issubclass(Child, Parent)) #True
print(issubclass(Parent, Child)) #False
We can also check if an object is an instance of a class by making use of isinstance() method:
obj1 = Child()
obj2 = Parent()
print(isinstance(obj2, Child)) #False
print(isinstance(obj2, Parent)) #True
