[Tutor] simple question about numeric types

Hi! Is there a simpler/fster way to check if a value has int or float type (i.e. is a "real number") than: v= if isinstance(v, int) or isinstance(v, float): (v must not be complex) Regards, Gregor -- Gregor Lingl Reisnerstrasse 3/19 A-1030 Wien Telefon: +43 1 713 33 98 Mobil: +43
