Converting exponential to float

Question

This is my code, trying to convert the second field of the line from exponential into float.

outputrrd = processrrd.communicate()
(output, error) = outputrrd         


        

Answer 1

The easy way is replace! One simple example:

value=str('6,0865000000e-01')
value2=value.replace(',', '.')
float(value2)
0.60865000000000002
