numpy.issubclass_

numpy.issubclass_(arg1, arg2) [source]

Determine if a class is a subclass of a second class.

issubclass_ is equivalent to the Python built-in issubclass, except that it returns False instead of raising a TypeError if one of the arguments is not a class.

Parameters:	arg1 : class Input class. True is returned if arg1 is a subclass of arg2. arg2 : class or tuple of classes. Input class. If a tuple of classes, True is returned if arg1 is a subclass of any of the tuple elements.
Returns:	out : bool Whether arg1 is a subclass of arg2 or not.
