Message: [QUOTE="SigmundV, post: 4231168"] I'd say that we have established that there is no shortcut, no built- in for this. You write you own function: string_to_int = lambda s: int(float(s)) Then you apply it to your list of strings: list_of_integers = map(string_to_int, list_of_strings) Of course, this will be horribly slow if you have thousands of strings. In such a case you should use an iterator (assuming you use python 2.7): import itertools as it iterator = it.imap(string_to_int, list_of_strings) Regards, Sigmund [/QUOTE]
