How can I parse a float scanned from a sheet as text, containing commas?
txt = "1,903.44"
value = float(txt) # This fails due to ',' in string
UPDATE: Sorry I wasn’t clear. I’m using jython 2.5, which doesn’t have the locale module.
If you need localization, this won’t really work but it does the trick if you know that commas are your separators.
