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

>>> s = '23.45678'
>>> int(float(s))
23
>>> int(round(float(s)))
23
>>> s = '23.54678'
>>> int(float(s))
23
>>> int(round(float(s)))
24

You don't specify if you want rounding or not...
