Derived from mel command maya.cmds.objectType
Example:
import pymel.core as pm
# create an object to query type of
pm.sphere( n='sphere1' )
# Result: [nt.Transform(u'sphere1'), nt.MakeNurbSphere(u'makeNurbSphere1')] #
# To query the type of an object:
pm.objectType( 'sphere1Shape' )
# Result: u'nurbsSurface' #
# To confirm that sphere1Shape really is a nurbs surface:
pm.objectType( 'sphere1Shape', isType='nurbsSurface' )
# Result: True #
