Python: Convert a string to an integer
- by Adam Nelson
Does anybody have a quickie for converting an unsafe string to an int?
The string typically comes back as: '234\r\n' or something like that.
In this case I want 234. If '-1\r\n', I want -1. I never want the method to fail but I don't want to go so far as try, except, pass just to hide errors either (in case something extreme happens).
