Thank you all who responded, for now I'll go with Keith's solution and
keep the locale for next time.
As all the data has one digit after the decimal I can get away with
myInt = int(temp.replace(',',''))
to convert a string representation of a float to an integer. I'll just
need to remember to divide everything by ten once the calculations are
done. Not very elegant, but it'll work. I don't suppose there is a
function for determining the number of digits after the decimal, is it?
Also, anybody knows the maximum and/or minimum integer python will accept?
Thank you,
PierreD.
