What is the best possible way to check if a string can be represented as a number in Python?
The function I currently have right now is:
def is_numb
In case you are looking for parsing (positive, unsigned) integers instead of floats, you can use the isdigit() function for string objects.
>>> a = "03523"
>>> a.isdigit()
True
>>> b = "963spam"
>>> b.isdigit()
False
String Methods - isdigit()
: Python2, Python3
There's also something on Unicode strings, which I'm not too familiar with Unicode - Is decimal/decimal
