The online Python 2 documentation for unicode.isdecimal (https://docs.python.org/2/library/stdtypes.html#unicode.isdecimal) incorrectly states: "Decimal characters include digit characters". This is wrong (decimal characters are actually a subset of digit characters), and u'\u00b3' is an example of a character that is a digit but not a decimal. Issue 26483 (https://bugs.python.org/issue26483) corrected the same bug in the Python 3 documentation, and a similar correction should be applied to the Python 2 documentation.
