You're searching for "isinstance" (or possibly issubclass)
for key, value in my_dict.items():
if isinstance(value, dict):
# do the dictionary logic
elif isinstance(value, str): # use basestring for str & unicode
# do the string logic
Or, if you _must_ use type:
if issubclass(type(value), dict):
# do the dictionary logic
elif issubclass(type(value), str):
# do the string logic
