Filter and str.isdigit producing an error

[deanhystad]

filter() returns a filter object, which is iterable. According to the documentation

https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#filter

filter(function, iterable)
Construct an iterator from those elements of iterable for which function returns true. iterable may be either a sequence, a container which supports iteration, or an iterator. If function is None, the identity function is assumed, that is, all elements of iterable that are false are removed.

Note that filter(function, iterable) is equivalent to the generator expression (item for item in iterable if function(item)) if function is not None and (item for item in iterable if item) if function is None

You could do "".join(filter(str.isdigit, s)).

s = 'November 11 day' 
pp = int("".join(filter(str.isdigit, s)))
print(f" Digits only  -> {pp}")
