New submission from JimmyCarlos <[email protected]>:
Hello Python Community!
One feature I think would be helpful would be a method to see if a str can be
safely converted into a float. Currently, this is not doable without a long
regex or a try-except block, as numbers like "-3.52" contain non-numeric
symbols.
My suggestion is to make a new boolean method on the str class. Code-wise, it
would behave quite similarly to this code:
def isfloat(s:str) -> bool:
try:
float(s)
return True
except:
return False
I appreciate your feedback, so what do you all think?
