The new version of the Python Cookbook suggests using "isinstance" rather than
direct comparison of types -- hopefully, the gentest() method "is a" generator.
So you'd use
if not isinstance(process, types.GeneratorType):
I have not checked if that would work (in either current CPython or
IronPython), and if it does that's what should be in simpy -- but isinstance
wasn't added until 2.2 (I think) and simpy was probably built before that.
You might want to look at this (long) thread:
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/python/python/365821?nohighlight=1#365821
which (it seems to me) somewhat suggests using
if not hasattr(process, '__iter__'):
in this case.
Good luck...
