Hi Rocco,
the locale Python module will allow you to do this sort of normalizations
on strings, e.g.:
import locale
locale.getlocale()
('en_US', 'UTF-8')
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, "it_IT")
'it_IT'
locale.delocalize("1,222")
'1.222'
But this requires you to know the locale the values where originally encoded in.
HTH, cheers
