[web2py] Importing numeric values with import_from_csv_file

[WillieD]

Hi All,

I'm a Web2py nube so please excuse my ignorance if I'm missing
something obvious.

I'm trying to import a CSV file that includes some integer and double
values but DAL always inserts NULL in these fields. A little
inspection of the 'import_from_csv_file' function reveals that the
embedded fix() function sets values to None if the field type is
double or integer.


            elif field.type in ('double','integer'):
                value = None

Is there a reason for this that I'm not getting?

Thanks
