Hm. apart from what Tres gave you (same_type) why this fear on 
python scripts? I mean, where you get the objects from - wouldn't 
it be better to provide all information you need for your ZPT
in a convenient format? If you read it directly from request/form,
you can also get the types right in the first place - with
:list, :records etc.

just 2ct ;)
