I would say that, intrinsically, yes, strings are constructed as sequences
of
other things. However, essentially every use case I have for *testing*
whether
or not something is a sequence (or inversely, a scalar), I want strings to
answer as "not a sequence".
I see
'is_string_like',
'iscomplex',
'iscomplexobj',
'isfinite',
'isfortran',
'ishold',
'isinf',
'isinteractive',
'isnan',
'isneginf',
'isposinf',
'ispower2',
'isreal',
'isrealobj',
'isscalar',
'issctype',
'issubclass_',
'issubdtype',
'issubsctype',
But apparently none of them test for a scalar number. That is a strange
functionality to be missing.
