Hello group, this is the conversion I'm looking for:
['1.1', '2.2', '3.3'] -> (1.1, 2.2, 3.3) Currently I'm "disassembling" the list by hand, like this: fields = line.split('; ') for x in range(len(fields)): fields[x] = float(fields[x]) ftuple = tuple(fields) Of course it works, but it looks inelegant. Is there a more Pythonisch way of doing this? In C I'd just use sscanf. robert -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
