Hi
I want the user to be able to specify "10**6" as arguments. How can I cast this
string value (it's from sys.argv) to an int value?.
Simply doing int("10**6") won't work. The code below works, but seems overly
complicated.
import re
POW = lambda x, y=1: pow(x, y)
convert = lambda n: POW(*map(int, re.split(r"[*]*", str(n))))
nrows, ncols = map(convert, (sys.argv[1], sys.argv[2])
Any ideas how to improve this?
Regards,
Albert-Jan
