Well, I'm recursively iterating through the children of all objects, starting at gcf() (and then picking up gca(), lines, axes, everything that belongs to the plot), which is then parsed and a TikZ file is spit out. I need the type-checking exactly when I loop through the children of an object to be able to say "Now we have an axes object, plot axes.". I'm a total Python noob, so my first attempts at an implementation is likely quite shabby: http://win.ua.ac.be/~nschloe/other/websvn/filedetails.php?repname=matplotlib2tikz&path=%2Ftrunk%2Fmatplotlib2tikz.py You'll find handle_children() towards the bottom of the file. Would the type-checking as applied in there be something sensitive to do? Also, of course, hints of *all kinds very much appreciated!
