For starters, I googled and saw a plethora of writings on how to convert an 
entire list from string to float.   My interest is on select elements in the 
list.  The output from the print statement: print scenarioList

is as follows

[ '3000000', '"N"', '11400000', '"E"' ]

I need to convert the first and third element to float.
   lat = ( float ) scenarioList [ 0 ]
   lon = ( float ) scenarioList [ 2 ]

fails (invalid syntax).  How can I achieve my objective.

Thanks in advance


Strong hint, you do not cast the strings to floats, you call the builtin float() function to do the conversion.
