``datetime.timedelta.days``. This constant is not defined in implementations of
Python that do not have such extension types, so for portable code use
``hasattr(types, 'MemberDescriptorType')``.
.. data:: StringTypes
A sequence containing ``StringType`` and ``UnicodeType`` used to facilitate
easier checking for any string object. Using this is more portable than using a
sequence of the two string types constructed elsewhere since it only contains
``UnicodeType`` if it has been built in the running version of Python. For
example: ``isinstance(s, types.StringTypes)``.
