Is it possible to use isinstance method to check, whether an object is a module? 🐍

Question

import math as example_module

#This does not work:
isinstance(example_module, module)

#This have worked to do the task:
type(example_module).__name__ == "module"

Do modules have a hidden class? They still are objects.

You will need to include the following line:

from types import ModuleType

Then you can use:

isinstance(example_module, ModuleType)
