Hi,
i have strings which look like money values (ie 34.45)
is there a way to convert them into float variables?
everytime i try I get this error: "numb = float(my_line) ValueError:
empty string for float()"
"
here's the code
************
import sys
import re
for line in sys.stdin.readlines():
my_line = line.rstrip()
numb = float(my_line)
print numb
The clue "empty string for float" must mean that the value of my_line is
an empty string. And that would seem to mean you have an empty line in
your input.
So... Either remove the empty lines, or test my_line before calling
float on it.

Or let the exception get raised, and handle it.
