Convert '165.0' to int

Show all headers | View raw

Hi all

I want to convert '165.0' to an integer.

The obvious method does not work -

>>> x = '165.0'
>>> int(x)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '165.0'

If I convert to a float first, it does work -

>>> int(float(x))
165
>>>

Is there a short cut, or must I do this every time (I have lots of them!) ? 
I know I can write a function to do this, but is there anything built-in?

Thanks

Frank Millman
