pandas.api.types.is_signed_integer_dtype

pandas.api.types.is_signed_integer_dtype(arr_or_dtype)[source]

Check whether the provided array or dtype is of a signed integer dtype.

Unlike in is_any_int_dtype, timedelta64 instances will return False.

The nullable Integer dtypes (e.g. pandas.Int64Dtype) are also considered as integer by this function.

Parameters:

arr_or_dtype:array-like or dtype

The array or dtype to check.

Returns:

boolean

Whether or not the array or dtype is of a signed integer dtype and not an instance of timedelta64.
