That's right,

This is a good solution, but be aware that it could impact othe
Hi PierreD, I think if you iterate over your strings with something like
this, it will do what you want, if I understand correctly (snum is your
string number, like "123,321"):
fnum = float(snum.replace(",", ".")
keith: rank beginner, take everything with a grain of salt!
Playing with this, a list comprehension is perfect:
fnumlist = [float(num.replace(",", ".")) for num in snumlist]

Hi,
I'm trying to convert a list of strings to float. Unfortunately the
numbers are written with a decimal comma instead of a decimal point.
What is the best way to replace these commas with decimal points? Do I
need to write a function that will iterate over every alphanumeric,
replace the comma
