Also, a more direct way of querying if an object is a specific type of node is:
cmds.objectType(myNode, isAType='transform') ...which will return True for all transforms and joints (which inherit from transforms), for instance. Using cmds.nodeType(myNode, inherited=True) has the added bonus of helping you learn the inheritance hiearchy, though...
