Hi,
I'm trying to convert a list of strings to float. Unfortunately the
numbers are written with a decimal comma instead of a decimal point.
What is the best way to replace these commas with decimal points? Do I
need to write a function that will iterate over every alphanumeric,
replace the comma with a point and then rewrite the list, or is there a
better way?
Thank you,
PierreD.
Change your locale.
import locale
# Set to users preferred locale:
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, '')
# Or a specific locale:
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_NUMERIC, "en_DK.UTF-8")
print(locale.atof("3,14"))
See
http://docs.python.org/3/library/locale.html#background-details-hints-tips-and-caveats
for the background.
