.. method:: str.isspace()

Return ``True`` if there are only whitespace characters in the string and there is
at least one character, ``False`` otherwise.

For example:

.. doctest::

>>> ''.isspace()
False
>>> ' '.isspace()
True
>>> '\t\n'.isspace() # TAB and BREAK LINE
True
>>> '\u3000'.isspace() # IDEOGRAPHIC SPACE
True

A character is *whitespace* if in the Unicode character database
(see :mod:`unicodedata`), either its general category is ``Zs``
("Separator, space"), or its bidirectional class is one of ``WS``,
``B``, or ``S``.

See also :meth:`isprintable`.

I would remove the reference to isprintable here (and the reference to isspace in the docs on isprintable as well).
