This module defines names for some object types that are used by the standard
Python interpreter, but not for the types defined by various extension modules.
Also, it does not include some of the types that arise during processing such as
the ``listiterator`` type. It is safe to use ``from types import *`` --- the
module does not export any names besides the ones listed here. New names
exported by future versions of this module will all end in ``Type``.
the ``listiterator`` type. New names exported by future versions of this module
will all end in ``Type``.
Typical use is for functions that do different things depending on their
argument types, like the following::
from types import *
from types import IntType
def delete(mylist, item):
if type(item) is IntType:
del mylist[item]
