This module contains utility functions used in multiple submodules.

is_number(number, *, dtype=float)

Check if argument can be interpreated as number.

Parameters:

  • number ((string, float, int)) –

    Variable to be check if it can be casted to float.

  • dtype (dtype, default: float ) –

    Check for different dtypes, so if is float or if it is int.

Returns:

  • is_number ( bool ) –

    Return if argument can be casted to float.
