True
>>> Integer(1.1).is_type()
False

Type Validation

>>> from pytypeutil.type import Integer
>>> Integer(1).validate()
>>> try:
...     Integer(1.1).validate()
... except TypeError as e:
...     print(e)
...
invalid value type: expected=INTEGER, actual=<type 'float'>

Type Conversion

convert

>>> from pytypeutil.type import Integer
>>> from pytypeutil import TypeConversionError
>>> Integer("1").convert()
1
>>> try:
...     Integer(1.1).convert()
... except TypeConversionError as e:
...     print(e)
...
failed to convert from float to INTEGER

try_convert

>>> from pytypeutil.type import Integer
>>> Integer("1").try_convert()
1
>>> print(Integer(1.1).try_convert())
None

force_convert

>>> from pytypeutil.type import Integer
>>> Integer("1").force_convert()
1
>>> Integer(1.1).force_convert()
