I have tried a few obvious options but none of them works:
In [150]: x
Out[150]: datetime.date(2012, 9, 1)
In [151]: type(x)
Out[151]: datetime.date
In [152]: isinstance(x, datetime.date)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
TypeError Traceback (most recent call last)
in ()
----> 1 isinstance(x, datetime.date)
TypeError: isinstance() arg 2 must be a class, type, or tuple of classes and types
In [153]: x is datetime.date
Out[153]: False
In [154]: type(x) is datetime.date
Out[154]: False
What is the right way of doing this?

i believe the reason it is not working in your example is that you have imported datetime like so :
from datetime import datetime
this leads to the error you see
In [30]: isinstance(x, datetime.date)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
TypeError Traceback (most recent call last)
/ in ()
----> 1 isinstance(x, datetime.date)
TypeError: isinstance() arg 2 must be a class, type, or tuple of classes and types
if you simply import like so :
import datetime
the code will run as shown in all of the other answers
In [31]: import datetime
In [32]: isinstance(x, datetime.date)
Out[32]: True
In [33]:
