Execute code depending on import success [on hold]

I'm using a library that provided me with a class that I can use. Additionally I created my special version of this class with some additional functionality (different output formatting, it is backward compatible). The idea is that it may or may not be available, if not - use standard version. Currently I'm checking if I can use it like that:
try:
from my_modiication import my_class
if isinstance(value, my_class):
self._init = deepcopy(value.format_me())
else:
self._init = deepcopy(value)
except ImportError:
self._init = deepcopy(value)
Is it safe to check for import success that way? Maybe there is a simpler way to achieve the same effect.
