Hello Folks!
I've got a little problem here, which which really creeps me out at the
moment.
I've got some strings, which only contain numbers plus eventually one
character as si-postfix (k for kilo, m for mega, g for giga). I'm trying
to convert those strings to integers, with this function:
def eliminate_postfix(value):
if type(value) is str:
value.upper()
if value.endswith('K'):
mult = 1000
elif value.endswith('M'):
mult = 1000000
elif value.endswith('G'):
mult = 1000000000
else:
mult = 1
if mult is 1:
value = string.atoi(value)
else:
value = string.atoi(value[:-1]) * mult
return value
The problem is as follows: Everytime a string with a postfix should get
converted, mult does not get set properly. It is always 1. Does anyone
have an idea how to fix this? I just don't see it, maybe because I'm
pretty new to python or because I'm just blind I would be really greatful.
Kind regards,
Andy
