I'm re-opening the ticket with a change of subject, because I think this should be treated as a documentation enhancement: - improve the docstrings for str.isdigit, isnumeric and isdecimal to make it clear what each does (e.g. what counts as a digit); - similarly improve the documentation for int and float? although the existing comment may be sufficient https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#numeric-types-int-float-complex - add a FAQ summarizing the situation. I don't think we need to worry about backporting the docs to Python 2, but if others disagree, I won't object. ---------- assignee: -> docs@python components: +Documentation -Library (Lib) nosy: +docs@python resolution: not a bug -> stage: resolved -> status: closed -> open title: int() and float() should accept any isnumeric() digit -> Document the differences between str.isdigit, isdecimal and isnumeric type: behavior -> enhancement versions: -Python 2.7, Python 3.4, Python 3.5, Python 3.6, Python 3.7, Python 3.8 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue36100> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
