[Zope] type in python methods

It does work:

---------
Python 1.5.2 (#0, Jul 30 1999, 09:52:18) [MSC 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Copyright 1991-1995 Stichting Mathematisch Centrum, Amsterdam
>>> x = 'spam'
>>> y = 'eggs'
>>> z = 99
>>> type(x) == type(y)
1
>>> type(x) == type(z)
0
>>>
---------

How isn't it working for you? What is the context? What kinds of
variables are you trying to compare?

Are you aware that type() only knows about primitive types (for example,
all class instances are of type 'instance')?
