Hello. Does anyone know of a python function that returns a value based on
whether or not its argument is an integer? Any help would be greatly
appreciated. Thanks.
pretty trivial to roll your own... I'm assuming you also want 
it to return true for longs:

import types
def is_int(arg):
    return type(arg) in (types.IntType, types.LongType)

In zope's Script (Python), you can't do that because type() is not 
allowed; but you can make do with the same_type function:

return same_type(arg, 1) or same_type(arg, 1L)
