Filter a list in python get integers

Question

I have a list:

['Jack', 18, 'IM-101', 99.9]

How do I filter it to get only the integers from it??

I tried

map(int, x)

but it gives error.

ValueError: invalid literal for int()
  with base 10: 'Jack'

Answer 1

Use filter:

filter(lambda e: isinstance(e, int), x)

Answer 2

In case the list contains integers that are formatted as str, the isinstance() solutions would not work.

['Jack', '18', 'IM-101', '99.9']

I figured out the following alternative solution for that case:

list_of_numbers = []
for el in your_list:
    try:
        list_of_numbers.append(int(el))
    except ValueError:
        pass
