How do I use the Python C-API to check if a PyObject* points to the type numpy.uint8 etc?
(Note that I want to check if the PyObject* points to the type numpy.uint8, not if it points to an instance of the type numpy.uint8.)

You can use
PyType_IsSubtype(child, parent)to see if the child type inherits the parent, but it operates onPyTypeObject*, notPyObject*.
