Is there a way to use .isdigit() with strings that could contain negative numbers?

Would the best way to do this be to check for the "-" at the start of the string, strip it and then reapply it after the .isdigit() check? This seems a bit convoluted.

use lstrip() function first. This will work for positive and negative numbers. str = "-2137" result = str.lstrip('-').isdigit()
