By definition, isdecimal() ⊆ isdigit() ⊆ isnumeric(). That is, if a string is decimal, then it'll also be digit and numeric.
Therefore, given a string s and test it with those three methods, there'll only be 4 types of results.

It's mostly about unicode classifications. Here's some examples to show discrepancies:
>>> def spam(s):
... for attr in 'isnumeric', 'isdecimal', 'isdigit':
... print(attr, getattr(s, attr)())
...
>>> spam('½')
isnumeric True
isdecimal False
isdigit False
>>> spam('³')
isnumeric True
isdecimal False
isdigit True
Specific behaviour is in the official docs here.
Script to find all of them:
import sys
import unicodedata
from collections import defaultdict
d = defaultdict(list)
for i in range(sys.maxunicode + 1):
s = chr(i)
t = s.isnumeric(), s.isdecimal(), s.isdigit()
if len(set(t)) == 2:
try:
name = unicodedata.name(s)
except ValueError:
name = f'codepoint{i}'
print(s, name)
d[t].append(s)

r/learnpython on Reddit: What is the equivalent of isdigit() for decimals?
January 25, 2021 -
I am trying to set up a rule where if a number is a decimal it will return in a def function.
However, I have not been able to find one yet.
I have tried isnumeric() and isdecimal() but they don't seem to work if the input is 0.23 or something like that
Here is an example:
def do_something(prompt):
while True:
something=input(prompt)
if something.isdigit:
return float(something)
The isdigit part is where I want to substitute so that the system only returns if it is a decimal (0.x)
Thanks

Use a try/except to try and turn it to a float.

The DIY way is to loop through the input string and check there’s at most 1 decimal point and only digits otherwise, but the other suggestion here (try casting it to a float, catch the error if you need to) is a bit simpler
