fix lint errors revealed by pycodestyle 2.11

When performing isinstance checks, an identity comparison is
automatically done, but we don't use isinstance here because we need
strict identity equality *without allowing subtypes*.

Comparing type() == type() is a value comparison, but could produce
effectively the same results as an identity comparison, usually, despite
being semantically off. pycodestyle learned to detect this and warn you
to do strict identity comparison.
