Python just uses the atof() function from the underlying C library.
Some of them handle NaN's, and some of them don't.
As a work around, how would I write this in list comprehension form:
newlist=[]
for i in range(len(v[1])):
try:
newlist.append(float(v[1][i]))
except:
newlist.append(-999.99) # or just nan possibly?
from numpy import nan
def nanfloat(x):
if x.lower() == 'nan':
return nan
else:
return float(x)
newlist = [myfloat(x) for x in v[1]]
