You're omitting some context here, but after poking around with your
module a bit, I'm guessing you created bf somewhat thus?

>>> bf = bitfield.make_bf("bf", (("asdf",bitfield.c_uint,2),))
>>> bf
<class 'bitfield.bf'>
>>> bf.__mro__
(<class 'bitfield.bf'>, <class '_ctypes.Union'>, <class
'_ctypes._CData'>, <class 'bitfield.Bitfield'>, <class 'object'>)
>>> type(bf)
<class '_ctypes.UnionType'>
>>> type(bf).__mro__
(<class '_ctypes.UnionType'>, <class 'type'>, <class 'object'>)

If that's the case, then it's quite correct: bf is not a Bitfield, it
is a subclass of bitfield.

>>> isinstance(bf,type)
True
>>> isinstance(bf(),bitfield.Bitfield)
True
>>> issubclass(bf,bitfield.Bitfield)
True

Or is there a magic __isinstance__
