Hi All Thankyou verymuch for ur inputs.
Hope u might have come across the string deprecation thought of in Python 3.0 as a result of which we need to use all of these as some objects For example : string.lower(str) needs to be some thing like str.lower(). Can u tell me whether such a change in the common python would require these string.digits to be changed. If so wat would be ur suggestions Thanks and regards Anoop John McMonagle wrote: > On Mon, 2006-07-24 at 22:19 -0700, Anoop wrote: > > Hi All > > > > I am getting two different outputs when i do an operation using > > string.digits and test.isdigit().
