#43574 — howto remove the thousand separator

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] — view raw

Hi,
I came across a problem that when i deal with int data with ',' as thousand separator, such as 12,916, i can not change it into int() or float().
How can i remove the comma in int data?
Any reply will be appreciated!!

Best,
Chen

Parse it using the locale module, just be sure to set the correct locale 
first:

>>> import locale
>>> locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, '')
'English_United Kingdom.1252'
>>> locale.atoi('1,000')
1000
>>> locale.atof('1,000')
1000.0
>>> locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, 'French_France')
'French_France.1252'
>>> locale.atof('1,000')
1.0
