Python .isalpha()

The .isalpha() string method checks if all of the characters in a string are letters of the alphabet (a-z). The letters can be lowercase or uppercase. If the string only contains letters of the alphabet it returns True, otherwise it returns False. Whitespace, numbers, and symbols are not considered to be part of the alphabet.
