In Python, you can use the type() function to determine the type of a variable. If the variable is of type None, specifically NoneType, the type() function will return NoneType. For example:

x = None

if type(x) == type(None):
    print("x is NoneType")
else:
    print("x is not NoneType")

The output result is:

x is NoneType
