[docs] [issue26483] docs unclear on difference between str.isdigit() and str.isdecimal()

[Serhiy Storchaka]

Serhiy Storchaka added the comment:

AFAIK ‘general category “Nd” ’ is the same as ‘the property value Numeric_Type=Decimal’.

Yet one related predicate is str.isnumeric().

https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html?#str.isnumeric

Return true if all characters in the string are numeric characters, and there is at least one character, false otherwise. Numeric characters include digit characters, and all characters that have the Unicode numeric value property, e.g. U+2155, VULGAR FRACTION ONE FIFTH. Formally, numeric characters are those with the property value Numeric_Type=Digit, Numeric_Type=Decimal or Numeric_Type=Numeric.

>>> numerics = ''.join(filter(str.isnumeric, chars))
>>> ''.join(sorted(set(digits) - set(numerics)))
''
>>> ''.join(sorted(set(numerics) - set(digits)))
