Here is a full example:

import clips

env = clips.Environment()


binary_class_string = """
(defclass clips_BINARY (is-a USER)
  (slot path))
"""
env.build(binary_class_string)

network_function_class_string = """
(defclass clips_NETWORK_FUNCTION (is-a USER)
  (slot binary)
  (slot start_address))
"""
env.build(network_function_class_string)


make_binary_instance_string = '(make-instance UniversalSample.exe of clips_BINARY (path /path/to/binary))'
env.eval(make_binary_instance_string)
instance_just_created = env.find_instance("UniversalSample.exe")
print(instance_just_created)

make_network_function_instance_string = '(make-instance my_func of clips_NETWORK_FUNCTION (binary [UniversalSample.exe])(start_address 4278884))'
env.eval(make_network_function_instance_string)
instance_just_created = env.find_instance("my_func")
print(instance_just_created)
print(type(instance_just_created["binary"]))

If I always have to go over the name, e.g. do a

instance_just_created = env.find_instance("my_func")
linked_instance = env.find_instance(instance_just_created["binary"])

how can I know if a slot contains a string or an instance name?

Your example behaves correctly as you are passing to the binary slot the instance name and not its address. To retrieve the address of an instance, you can use CLIPS instance-address function.

In [3]: env.eval('(make-instance my_func of clips_NETWORK_FUNCTION (binary (instance-address [UniversalSample.exe]))(start_address 4278884))')
Out[3]: 'my_func'

In [4]: instance = env.find_instance('my_func')

In [5]: instance['binary']
Out[5]: Instance: [UniversalSample.exe] of clips_BINARY (path /path/to/binary)
