I think you're looking for isinstance().  You can do things like 
this:

assert isinstance(self.myvalue, CMyClass)

Or without the assert just:

isinstance(self.myvalue, CMyClass)

And if you need to import a module you don't really want to 
import, or just don't want this code executed, you can do 
something like this:

if 0:
  import mymodule
  isinstance(self.myvalue, mymodule.CMyClass)

Hope that helps.
