how to convert single quotes string to number in python [duplicate]

Question

I have a number of type string with single quotes. e,g

var = '2,000'
type(var) # <class 'str'>

I want to convert it to int.

I have tried int(var) But it gives an error

invalid literal for int() with base 10: '2,000'

You have a , in your string, you need to remove it before you can convert — user3483203

BTW, you actually lied in the question, when you wrote var = '2000', because that string does not produce an error. The error happens when the string is var = '2,000', so you should put that in the question. See How to create a Minimal, Complete, and Verifiable example — zvone

I was an idiot!! completely overlooked it. Yes it was supposed to be '2,000' NOT '2000' and I've updated in the question — keerthan kumar

If your number contains ',' then you should use this.

 > var = '2,000'
 > int(a.replace(',', ''))
 > 2000

else this

 >  var = '2000'
 >  i = int(var)

I get these results :

var = '2000'
print(type(var)) # <class 'str'>
myInt = int(var)
print(type(myInt)) # <class 'int'>

So could you try and share all your relevant code please.

I think your error message shows you are using "2,000" not "2000" try using str.replace to remove comas or any letters in your strings

 int ("2,000,000".replace("," , ""))

var = '2000'

print(type(int(var)))

No, don't use eval(). There are easier, safer ways of converting it.
