    Examples
    --------
    >>> np.isscalar(3.1)
    True
    >>> np.isscalar(np.array(3.1))
    False
    >>> np.isscalar([3.1])
    False
    >>> np.isscalar(False)
    True
    >>> np.isscalar('numpy')
    True

    NumPy supports PEP 3141 numbers:

    >>> from fractions import Fraction
    >>> np.isscalar(Fraction(5, 17))
    True
    >>> from numbers import Number
    >>> np.isscalar(Number())
    True
