Okay, I should be more specific: include full tracebacks and some

Python gave you, feed it to us.
invalid literal for long() with base 10: '51.9449702'
this is the error i'm getting when i use long(line)
Yes, "51.9449702" is an invalid literal for long. Long produces
integers: no decimal points.
However:
and this is the error for float(line)
invalid literal for float(): not found
Its a perfectly valid literal for float:>>> float('51.9449702')
51.9449702
So if you're getting that error, you're doing something else that
you're
not telling us.
I suspect, somehow (I'd have to see your code to be sure), that your
"line" in the second case doesn't have that number. Try it in the
interactive interpreter. float('51.9449702') works fine. I suspect
your
"line", for whatever reason, contains the string "not found", as in:
float('not found')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ValueError: invalid literal for float(): not found

ah, i see :P
float("45.34") or whatever does work fine, but the problem is that i'm
reading it from a text file. so somehow it is not a real string or
whatever..
here's a part of the code:
f = open ('/home/david/out.txt', 'r')
for line in f:
if tel ==6:
buf = line.replace('\n', '')
lat = float(buf)
if tel ==7:
buf = line.replace('\n', '')
lng = float(buf)
basically it goes wrong in the last part where i try to convert the
line to a float..
i'm 100% sure that it's getting a number, not a text string
cheers!

Ok! Just to be sure, execute the following in your <out> file:
egrep -in 'not found' <out>
If it finds something, it will return the line number and what was
found!
