+The Blender.Types submodule
+===========================
+
+This module is a dictionary of Blender Python types, for type checking.
+
+Example::
+
+ import Blender
+ from Blender import Types, Object, NMesh, Camera, Lamp
+ #
+ objs = Object.Get() # a list of all objects in the current scene
+ for o in objs:
+   print
+   print o, type(o)
+   data = o.getData()
+   print type(data)
+   if type(data) == Types.NMeshType:
+     if len(data.verts):
+       print "its vertices are obviously of type:", type(data.verts[0])
+     print "and its faces:", Types.NMFaceType
+   elif type(data) == Types.CameraType:
+     print "It's a Camera."
+   elif type(data) == Types.LampType:
+     print "Let there be light!"
+
+@var ObjectType: Blender Object. The base object, linked to its specific data
+     at its .data member variable.
+@var NMeshType: Blender NMesh. The mesh structure.
+@var NMFaceType: Blender NMFace. A mesh face, with one (a point), two (an edge),
+     three (a triangular face) or four (a quad face) vertices.
+@var NMVertType: Blender NMVert. A mesh vertex.
+@var NMColType: Blender NMCol. A mesh rgba colour.
+@var ArmatureType: Blender Armature. The "skeleton", for animating and deforming
+objects.
+@var BoneType: Blender Bone. Bones are, obviously, the "pieces" of an Armature.
+@var CurveType: Blender Curve.
+@var IpoType: Blender Ipo.
+@var MetaballType: Blender Metaball.
+@var CameraType: Blender Camera.
+@var ImageType: Blender Image.
+@var LampType: Blender Lamp.
+@var TextType: Blender Text.
+@var MaterialType: Blender Material.
+@var SceneType: A Blender Scene. Container of all other objects.
+@var ButtonType: Blender Button. One of the Draw widgets.
+@var vectorType: Blender vector. Used in NMesh.
+@var bufferType: Blender buffer. A contiguous piece of storage, used in BGL.
+@var constantType: Blender constant. A constant dictionary.
+@var rgbTupleType: Blender rgbTuple. A (red, green, blue) triplet.
