I don't understand why you need to make this check.
Aren't you going to have to check individually anyway for all
the types you want to treat specially? If so, why not just

  if (PyString_CheckExact(obj)) {
    /* convert it to a Perl string */
  }
  elif (PyInt_CheckExact(obj)) {
    /* convert it to a Perl integer */
  }
  ...
  else {
    /* None of the above, wrap it generically */
  }

Using the CheckExact macros will ensure that you don't pick
up any subclasses of the built-in types.
