Convert a string to integer with decimal in Python

Question

I have a string in the format: \'nn.nnnnn\' in Python, and I\'d like to convert it to an integer.

Direct conversion fails:

>>> s = \'23.4567         


        

Answer 1

How about this?

>>> s = '23.45678'
>>> int(float(s))
23

Or...

>>> int(Decimal(s))
23

Or...

>>> int(s.split('.')[0])
23

I doubt it's going to get much simpler than that, I'm afraid. Just accept it and move on.
