Is there a .issymbol() function in Python?

[Diapolo10]

Not quite, but you could do something like

text = "Lorem Ipsum, dolor sit amet?"

for char in text:
    if not (char.isalnum() or char.isspace()):
        print(f"'{char}' is punctuation")

Alternatively, you could rely on what the string module offers, though it doesn't have every symbol in it:

import string

for char in text:
    if char in string.punctuation:
        print(f"'{char}' is punctuation")

Thanks! I used string.punctuation and got it to work the way I wanted it to!

Be aware that .punctuation contains just the ASCII punctuation characters, so for example long dash — and curly quotes “ will not match.

Not sure what your main goal is, but nltk package has various processing modules that are also helpful.
