Some of the code used `type(X) == Y` to compare types. Those constructs lead to warnings from `flake8`. It is better to use `isinstance`.

(optional) consider changing to numbers.Real if we'd like to handle np.float32 values.

Good idea. Since there may be other places in the code where a similar change ought to be made, I won't do it in this PR, and instead I opened an issue (#435) to remind us to do a broader check for numerical type comparisons that might not behave as expected with NumPy 2.
