How to extract numbers from a string in Python?

Question

I would extract all the numbers contained in a string. Which is the better suited for the purpose, regular expressions or the isdigit() method?

Example:

Answer 1

I am just adding this answer because no one added one using Exception handling and because this also works for floats

a = []
line = "abcd 1234 efgh 56.78 ij"
for word in line.split():
    try:
        a.append(float(word))
    except ValueError:
        pass
print(a)

Output :

[1234.0, 56.78]
