floats now have an is_integer() method. I think it was added in 2.6 around the same time as as_integer_ratio(). It has a docstring but it isn't mentioned in the documentation. I only idled across it when reading the C source. I'd expect to find it, for example, at

http://docs.python.org/library/stdtypes.html?highlight=as_integer_ratio#additional-methods-on-float
http://docs.python.org/py3k/library/stdtypes.html?highlight=as_integer_ratio#additional-methods-on-float

Can it please be added, and for Py2, mention what version it appeared in.

Woops, I didn't meant to unassign docs.
