If I define a dictionary where one or more of the values is also a
dictionary, e.g.:
my_dict={a:string, b:string, c:{x:0,y:1},
d:string}
How can I use the output of type() so I can do one thing if the value
is a string, and another if the value is a dictionary?
i.e., I'd like to define a loop

You're searching for isinstance (or possibly issubclass)
