Return ``True`` if there are only whitespace characters in the string and
there is
at least one character, ``False`` otherwise.
+ For example:
+
+ .. doctest::
+
+ >>> ''.isspace()
+ False
+ >>> ' '.isspace()
+ True
+ >>> '\t\n'.isspace() # TAB and BREAK LINE
+ True
+ >>> '\u3000'.isspace() # IDEOGRAPHIC SPACE
+ True
+
A character is *whitespace* if in the Unicode character database
(see :mod:`unicodedata`), either its general category is ``Zs``
("Separator, space"), or its bidirectional class is one of ``WS``,
``B``, or ``S``.
