Checking whether a variable is an integer or not [duplicate]

Answer 1

#!/usr/bin/env python

import re

def is_int(x):

    if(isinstance(x,(int,long))):

        return True
    matchObj = re.match(r'^-?\d+\.(\d+)',str(x))

        if matchObj:

        x = matchObj.group(1)

        if int(x)-0==0:

            return True

     return False

print is_int(6)

print is_int(1.0)

print is_int(1.1)

print is_int(0.1)

print is_int(-956.0)
