python - Compare type of a variable

I have a variable x and whose type is :

type(x)
>> 

in the next part, I want to see if the type of x is
I am unable to compare and see it
So far, I have tried:

if type(x) == "__main__.XmlListConfig":

This does not work because ofcourse I am comparing it to a string.
Any Suggesting will help and please feel free to ask me for more clarification.
