[Python-ideas] Re: String method to check for a float

[Debashish Palit]

A correction to my reply: int('1234567890' * 100) will not raise an overflow 
error, multiplying 1.0 with it raises the error. str.isfloat would still flag 
the string as an int and then it is upto the application code to deal with the 
overflow error.
