Walter Dörwald d9a6ad3beb Enhance issubclass() and PyObject_IsSubclass() so that a tuple is supported as the second argument. This has the same meaning as for isinstance(), i.e. issubclass(X, (A, B)) is equivalent to issubclass(X, A) or issubclass(X, B). Compared to isinstance(), this patch does not search the tuple recursively for classes, i.e. any entry in the tuple that is not a class, will result in a TypeError. This closes SF patch #649608.		2002-12-12 16:41:44 +00:00
