List comprehension replacing items that are not float or int

Question

I have a 2 item list.

Sample inputs:

[\'19(1,B7)\', \'20(1,B8)\']
[\'16 Hyp\', \'16 Hyp\']
[\'< 3.2\', \'38.3302615548213\']
[\'18.6086945477694\         


        

Answer 1

What about

def stip_chars(lst):
    for item in lst:
        yield item.strip("> ")

new_values = [v for v in strip_chars(values) if is_number(v)]

?
