Alexander Belopolsky <belopol...@users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:
I am attaching a patch that expands the documentation of isalnum, isalpha, isdecimal, isdigit, isnumeric, islower, isupper, and isspace. I did not change isidentifier or isprintable because their docs were already complete. I also left out istitle because I could not figure out how to deal with the confusion between Python and Unicode notions of titlecase. I would also like to note that it appears that isdigit and isdecimal imply isnumeric, so s.isalnum() is equivalent to all(c.isalpha() or c.isnumeric() for c in s). However the actual code does have redundant checks for isdecimal() and isdigit(). I think the documentation should reflect what the code does for an off-chance that someone would replace unicodedata with their own database with which these checks are not redundant. ---------- assignee: d...@python -> belopolsky keywords: +patch stage: -> commit review Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file20039/issue10587.diff _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10587> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
