Python's IsInstance() Woes

#Note to self:
#Python's isinstance() function's main mission is to make your life a living hell when working with booleans and integers.

#---IsInstance example---
#Behavior: The Boolean will be seen as an Integer
#This will print "I'm an integer" even though we clearly define isBoolean as a boolean on the next line
isBoolean = True
if isinstance(isBoolean, int):
    print "I'm an integer"
elif isinstance(isBoolean, bool):
    print "I'm a boolean"
#Reason: Logically, Python is correct in its logic since booleans are represented as 1s & 0s on a primitive level.
#However, since isinstance() appears to evaluate underlying value, not the visible representation, it can cause hours of headaches.

#---Solution for the IsInstance boolean/integer woes---
#Using type() and directly comparing to a type
#This will give us the expected behavior of evaluating a boolean as a boolean and not as an integer
isBoolean = True
if type(isBoolean) is int:
    print "I'm an integer"
elif type(isBoolean) is bool:
    print "I'm a boolean"
