This and the next seem like different types of changes.

This is a very old code, written when time could be int. It is complicated and not completely correct.

This change is included in #19708, so it will be removed from this PR.

And if you don't make the requested changes, you will be put in the comfy chair!

The type(x) replacements are a real improvement in readability. Consider removing other changes while adding a few ==/!= replacements with is/is not.

The changes to plistlib and build-installer.py look good to me.

Likewise for most other changes. This does change type checks from (effectively) type(value) is some_type to instance(value, some_type) and those are technically semantic changes. That said, the changes should have no visible behaviour change in practice.

I didn't look at the changes in tkinter, pydoc and xmlrpc, mostly due to lack of time: I didn't have to time to look deeply enough at the code to see if there are unexpected changes in behaviour.
