[dbfpy-devel] ValueError for int conversion

[Dennis F. <Den...@te...>]

Hello,

 

I've been using DBFPy for a project I'm finishing at work. 

 

I've recently encountered a difficulty with reading a field that is
defined as a double, but has zero decimal places of precision. DBFPy
should treat it as a float or force it to be an integer. I cannot change
the original data because the data is produced elsewhere.

 

The error message I receive is:

 

ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '3320.'

 

As a work around, I altered line 243 in fields.py from

 

return int(value)

 

to 

 

return int(float(value))

 

I'm not sure what the best way to handle this case actually is, but this
way works for me. Is there any chance that the code could be updated to
include an update for this case?

 

Thanks!

Dennis
