Yes. I probably didn't use it out of habit. Specifically, when I wrote 
my
other Python project where I needed to interrogate arguments, I had to 
be
compatible with Python 1.5 and Python 2.0, so initially didn't exist and
then couldn't use it for compatibility reasons.

Possibly about time to start using it, although not sure it will change
much the amount of code that needs to be written as still need special
cases to drop off self parameter of class instance method. It also does
not eliminate the chain of if statements which identify the actual 
object
you need to apply the interrogation to.
