Subject: How to know type of record at client end [Py-epics v3.1.1 interface ]

Dear Sir,

Is there is any way, one can know the type of record, if I know the PV name.

e.g. I have a analog input record Py:ai1

>>> pv=epics.PV('Py:ai1')
>>> pv.type
'double'
>>> pv.count
1
>>> pv.get_ctrlvars()
{'status': 17, 'lower_disp_limit': 0.0, 'upper_disp_limit': 0.0, 'severity': 3, 'upper_ctrl_limit': 0.0, 'lower_alarm_limit': nan, 'precision': 0, 'upper_alarm_limit': nan, 'lower_warning_limit': nan, 'upper_warning_limit': nan, 'units': '', 'lower_ctrl_limit': 0.0}
"== Py:ai1  (native_double) ==\n   value      = 1\n   char_value = '1'\n   count      = 1\n   type       = double\n   units      = \n   precision  = 0\n   host       = trunk.codac.iter.org:42293\n   access     = read/write\n   status     = 17\n   severity   = 3\n   timestamp  = 1303134187.996 (2011-04-18 15:43:07.996138)\n   upper_ctrl_limit    = 0.0\n   lower_ctrl_limit    = 0.0\n   upper_disp_limit    = 0.0\n   lower_disp_limit    = 0.0\n   upper_alarm_limit   = nan\n   lower_alarm_limit   = nan\n   upper_warning_limit = nan\n   lower_warning_limit = nan\n   PV is internally monitored, with 0 user-defined callbacks:\n============================="


How does I get it is of record type analog input e.g. (ai). One way is to get it from output string . Is there is a simple way ?
