Ok, your choice : ).  On a second step, after exppython gets integrated
in the official Blender binary, we'll have chance to simplify the API,
but since yours is a new part, you can think about that right now.

Even before downloading all my email now, I was already replying to my
own reply:

Please, nevermind, Jordi.  .has_prent() is most obviously a typo, but
when I read the msg it seemed an abbreviation, as if more letters than a
single 'a' were missing. Gee, I must have crossed that line between
productivity and time to go to bed before sending that reply, sorry.

Thanks, we'll check and commit them.

That part is probably not finished yet.  It ought to be possible to get
the type from obj.getData().getType(), since we should have objdata in

objdata = obj.getData()

working exactly like the object data "object", I mean:

type(Blender.Object.New("Mesh").getData()) = type(Blender.NMesh.New())

So once finished you should be able to get the obj type from the
obj.data type, as with the current bpython.

But obj.getType() (seeing now Michel included the prototype already)
conforms to the way data modules work and is probably a good shortcut to
have.
