all work. For a more general check (e.g. if it is any type of integer), you can do
np.issubclass_(a.dtype.type, np.integer)
I don't recommend using that. Use np.issubdtype(a.dtype, np.integer) instead.
Sorry, you're right, this works the same way - I had the impression from the documentation that tests like np.issubdtype(np.int16, np.integer) would not work, but they do. Cheers, Derek
