Help on method_descriptor in str:
str.isdigit = isdigit(...)
S.isdigit() -> bool
Return True if all characters in S are digits
and there is at least one character in S, False otherwise.
By the way, is it worth filing a bug report on the wording of
str.isdecimal()? It seems to imply that ''.isdecimal() should be true.
(It isn't.) Especially when compared like that to isdigit, which makes
a point of noting this particular edge case.
I think both should read (choosing either decimals or digits)
Return True if S has at least one character and all are decimals/digits,
False otherwise.
Feel free to submit an issue.
