This is a good solution, but be aware that it could impact other parts
of your porgram as well, particularly if this is a read in data set from
a non-local region. Also, in places where commas are used as decimal
points, it's also common to use periods as commas:
>>> print(locale.atof("123.456,14"))
123456.14
