How to tell if string starts with a number?
<p>I have a string that starts with a number (from 0-9)
I know I can "or" 10 test cases using startswith() but there is probably a neater solution</p>

<p>so instead of writing</p>

<pre><code>if (string.startswith('0') || string.startswith('2') ||
    string.startswith('3') || string.startswith('4') ||
    string.startswith('5') || string.startswith('6') ||
    string.startswith('7') || string.startswith('8') ||
    string.startswith('9')):
    #do something
</code></pre>

<p>Is there a cleverer/more efficient way?</p>
