[New-bugs-announce] [issue10145] (4.2).is_integer() is undocumented.

[Ralph Corderoy]

New submission from Ralph Corderoy <ralph-pythonbugs at inputplus.co.uk>:

floats now have an is_integer() method.  I think it was added in 2.6 around the same time as as_integer_ratio().  It has a docstring but it isn't mentioned in the documentation.  I only idled across it when reading the C source.  I'd expect to find it, for example, at

    http://docs.python.org/library/stdtypes.html?highlight=as_integer_ratio#additional-methods-on-float
    http://docs.python.org/py3k/library/stdtypes.html?highlight=as_integer_ratio#additional-methods-on-float

Can it please be added, and for Py2, mention what version it appeared in.
