 In Python console, type(item) will only return <class
 'qgis.core.QgsComposerItem'>

 From IRC:

 [09:49] <anita1> how can i get all QgsComposerLabels from a composer?
 currently, i can just access all QgsComposerItems but don't know how to
 filter only labels from them

 [10:50] <marco> hi anita1

 [10:50] <marco> dynamic cast in (C++) or query the class type (in python)

 [10:51] <anita1> marco: hi. but that returns only QgsComposerItem, not
 label

 [10:51] <anita1> type(items[0]) <class 'qgis.core.QgsComposerItem'>

 [10:52] <marco> in python? Then there is probably missing a
 'convertToSubclass' somewhere in the python bindings...
