The __docs__ say: "S.isdigit() -> int\n\ \n\ Return 1 if there are only digit characters in S,\n\ 0 otherwise."; static char isspace__doc__[] = "S.isspace() -> int\n\ \n\ Return 1 if there are only whitespace characters in S,\n\ 0 otherwise."; I am not an English language lawyer so I could see both interpretations from the doc strings. I agree, that the result with a zero length string is surprising. Hi All, Which should it be? Sorry, if this has been covered. Trent -- Trent Mick trentm@activestate.com
