Bryan,
How about checking your input to see if they are digits or not?
>>> input_data = '123ABC'
>>> print input_data.isdigit()
False
>>> input_data = '1234567889'
>>> print input_data.isdigit()
True
>>> input_data = '123ABC'
>>> print input_data.isdigit()
False
or something like:
while INPUT.has_key('ReferencePositionX').isdigit() =='True':
refx = float(INPUT['ReferencePositionX'])/10
refy = float(INPUT['ReferencePositionY'])/10
refz = float(INPUT['ReferencePositionZ'])/10

I am populating a dictionary from an input file, and would like to

INPUT[input_line[0].strip()] = input_line[1].strip()
if INPUT.has_key('ReferencePositionX'):
refx = float(INPUT['ReferencePositionX'])/10

I have many variables of different types, and I want to do a check
in case something like ReferencePositionX = abc occurs.
