python - Detect whether a dataframe has a MultiIndex

I am building a new method to parse a DataFrame into a Vincent-compatible format. This requires a standard Index (Vincent can't parse a MultiIndex).

Is there a way to detect whether a Pandas DataFrame has a MultiIndex?

In: type(frame)
Out: pandas.core.index.MultiIndex

I've tried:

In: if type(result.index) is 'pandas.core.index.MultiIndex':
        print True
    else:
        print False
Out: False

If I try without quotations I get:

NameError: name 'pandas' is not defined

Any help appreciated.

(Once I have the MultiIndex, I'm then resetting the index and merging the two columns into a single string value for the presentation stage.)

You can use isinstance to check whether an object is a class (or its subclasses):

if isinstance(result.index, pandas.MultiIndex):
